Visions: Hear new music from Kris Davis, Blue Note’s Immanuel Wilkins, Walter Smith III + more
I don’t know what it was about this episode, but it truly energized me! On this episode of Visions I play mostly new music that came out literally in the last few days, and releases that came out in just the last couple years.
I built this episode around a brand new record by pianist Kris Davis. Her newest trio with Robert Hurst and Johnathan Blake came out last Friday on her label, Pyroclastic Records. The album is called Run the Gauntlet and is dedicated to Geri Allen, Marilyn Crispell, Angelica Sanchez, Carla Bley, Renee Rosnes and Sylvie Courvoisier.
Davis asked me to share this record and spread the word about a free album release show happening on Saturday in Ann Arbor.
For the other brand new releases, I played music from a few upcoming Blue Note releases, including Immanuel Wilkins and Walter Smith III. You’ll also hear new tracks from Patricia Brennan via Pyroclastic Records release (yes, the same Pyroclastic as Kris Davis’ label), and Jason Stein’s Tao Forms release from last month.
I also had an accidental new music discovery when I looked up some music to play by Dave Holland. Hear his new single “Tranxit” with Lionel Loueke. So much brand new music hit the airwaves this episode!
I have a few selections that came out in the 2020s and 2010s, including Johnathan Blake, Kendrick Scott, Jesús Molina with this insane version of “A Night in Tunisia,” Nicholas Payton and Robert Hurst. I threw in some older releases for good measure featuring music from Dave Liebman, Detroit’s Wendell Harrison and Sam Rivers. I hope you enjoy this episode half as much as I enjoyed putting it together for you!
