My must-listen pile is getting taller and taller—so many new releases from ear-worthy artists, both familiar and new to me. To lower the stack to a more manageable height and introduce a wider array of music worth your time, here are several short reviews, written after a single listen.
Sorry for Laughing, Gordon Whitlow’s unclassifiable group, has developed a sound that would be near impossible for anyone else to imitate. Lily Guarneros Maase unblinkingly considers abusive love.
Continuing with multiple short reviews to try to make up some of the ground lost over the summer, I’ve got a few that stretch across several styles: Tobias Hoffmann Jazz Orchestra, Sorry for Laughing, and Miguel Zenón.
