This week on Visions, I play a lot of different selections. You hear new music from the Kris Davis Trio, Dominique Eade and Ran Blake, Patricia Brennan and Sylvie Courvoisier, Fuller Sound—which is sisters Tia Fuller and Shamie Royston— and a record called “FATHERS” coming out on Blue Note next month. I have selections from Stanley Clarke, the Rashied Ali Quintet, Nicholas Payton, Brad Mehldau, and Jimi Hendrix.

This week on Visions, I celebrate two greats we lost last week. One of them is Detroit’s very own trumpeter, Rayse Biggs. The other is South African pianist, Abdullah Ibrahim. In addition to several selections by them, I play the Helen Sung Big Band, sparklmami, Freddie Hubbard & Woody Shaw, Charles Mingus, Detroit’s Pamela Wise, Elsa Nilsson, Sullivan Fortner, Grant Green, and more. This episode spans seven decades of music from the late 50’s to the 2020’s.

This week on Visions, I play disparate parts of what I’ve been listening to lately, discovering, and revisiting. I’ve got classics from Thelonious Monk, Gary Bartz, Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman, Donald Byrd, and Clifford Jordan. I play my new music discovery from Dana and Alden featuring Mei Semones. I also include new releases from Nicholas Payton & Butcher Brown, Joe Lovano’s Paramount Quartet, Tyshawn Sorey, and fairly new tracks from Jeff Parker’s ETA Quartet and Dave Holland.
