Warning, a bit off-color/rude. It's a short cartoon. From an IFC 2015 mini series with Will Farrell, called The Spoils Before Dying, episode 3. Hey - Michael K. Williams, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph - apparently not available to stream (Plex?) Sure nails the 1950s Beatnik/bebop era vibe.

From Spotify, wrote Seton Hawkins of Hot House Jazz: "Listen to a few notes on any Dmitry Baevsky recording and you immediately will hear this distinct musical voice: a gorgeously dark and warm alto tone that at times almost sounds like a tenor. Having moved to to New York City from his native Russia nearly two decades ago, Baevsky has since carved a niche as an inspired straight-ahead alto virtuoso, one whose musical résumé boasts an impressive set of collaborations and whose solo outings include a series of critically beloved albums and a highly regarded quartet." He released the albums Soundtrack in 2021, followed by Kids' Time in 2022. The first vid is an overview from his 2018 album We Two, a duo session with piano, the 2nd is a duo with a bass player, and the 3rd is the first tune from Kids' Time. (Not a big selection of YouTube vids with his quartet). YouTube and Spotify links to his 3 mentioned albums follow. Please enjoy some good sax. :cool:

The WDR Big Band released the album Samba Jazz Odyssey in 2022. From AllAboutJazz.com: "One could probably count the number of big-band albums featuring a harmonica player on the fingers of one hand and leave some unused. And so it is indeed a genuine pleasure to hear the virtuoso Hendrik Meurkens perform with one of the world's foremost large ensembles, Cologne, Germany's exemplary WDR Big Band. More than simply performing, Meurkens also composed seven of the album's nine delightful numbers, with solos on every number, always with one or more members of the ensemble sharing the spotlight. ... Combine Meurkens' superb playing and writing with ... the marvelous WDR Big Band, and you have the complete package. To put it another way, Latin-flavored big-band jazz simply doesn't get much better than this."

The first vid is a live performance of a tune from the album, the 2nd is from a performance with altoist Paquito D'Rivera, while YouTube and Spotify links to the mentioned album follow. This is a nice big band jazz album, even with the non-traditional lead instrument. Please enjoy.

Saxophonist Roxy Cross released her album Disparate Parts in 2022. From AllAboutJazz.com: "Saxophonist Roxy Coss' acute, teasingly biting tone and rich, no boundaries disposition to composing and jamming has placed her high in the generational echelon of new and challenging players. She willingly and unapologetically blends and blurs the lines to suit any and all missives, and the fourteen fireballs heard loud and clear on Disparate Parts broach nothing less.... It is startling! It is exhilarating! It is the great noise of young humans breaking from the folly of their warring elders who have locked them down for two whole years."

The first vid is a live performance of a tune from her 2019 album Quintet, and then she plays with some fellow ladies from her record label for a promotional video. Her new album is a hot, modern jazz album. She also plays in the Diva Orchestra, and founded the Women in Jazz Organization. YouTube and Spotify links to the new album follow. Please enjoy some new jazz. :cool:

From Allmusic.com: "It hardly seems possible, but it took thirty-five years for Canadian bassist extraordinaire Neil Swainson to lead a sparkling quintet in this new recording of Swainson original compositions entitled Fire In The West. His prior recording from 1987 was called 49th Parallel and received little attention at the time. However it was re-released as an LP in 2020 by Reel to Real Records and it generated some welcomed critical reviews. Accompanying Swainson in this outing was a blue-chip rhythm section of pianist Renee Rosnes and drummer Lewis Nash, with a first rate front line of trumpeter Brad Turner and tenor saxophonist Kelly Jefferson. ... A musical excursion well worth the wait."

He's been a pro since the mid 70s, played for Paul Horn, Rob McConnell and George Shearing, with credits on almost 200 albums. The vids are 2 nice acoustic trio tunes, with Pat Labarbera on tenor, and YouTube and Spotify links for the 2022 album follow. The album is a quintet, and packs a bit more punch than the vids, but these are nice. Please enjoy a nice new jazz album from a Canadian, acoustic bass master.
