‘Ghost City’ was written over the course of two years, between the bands tours in Europe, Japan and Mexico, before heading to Northern Italy to record it. “We figured it was the same price to record in Italy, so we brought our friend and producer Mark Roberts along for the ride,” says Devin Yuceil (vocals/guitar), “we booked a bunch of shows on the way down which pretty much covered our recording costs, which also meant that we had around a week of playing the new material everyday leading to the studio, a luxury we don’t often have.”

This Trio recorded their first live album together at the Jamboree (Barcelona) on January 3rd-2025. This trio features some really strong names in jazz today, representing three different generations: Catalan drummer Jorge Rossy, born 1964 (Brad Mehldau Trio), Catalan bassist Camil Arcarazo, born 2003 (Bill McHenry, Gregory Hutchinson, etc.), and Swedish guitarist Gustav Lundgren, born 1980 (Chris Cheek & Doug Weiss). The music is a mix of standards arranged for the trio and one original.

On his second album with KAIROS, Fixations, Andrew McIntosh presents music for scordatura strings in just intonation, recorded with longtime collaborators Wild Up, Christopher Rountree, Aperture Duo, and Erika Duke-Kirkpatrick—who, together with the composer himself, appears as soloist. The album, produced by Lewis Pesacov, offers a unique exploration of the nuanced social and spatial dimensions of rhythm and tuning. Featuring 434.6, Fixations, and Duo for viola and cello, with any number of violins, it also includes a printed conversation between McIntosh and Cassandra Miller inside the booklet, opening a window into a world of circular time, care, and musical generosity.

Johnny Hartman gained posthumous fame as one of the warmest ballad singers of this century, and his deep baritone voice is well showcased on this 1958 date, which emphasizes slower tempos with a couple of exceptions ("Sunday" and "After You've Gone"). Accompanied by a subtle orchestra arranged by Rudy Traylor (the personnel is unknown), Hartman is in such fine form that it seems sad that this obscure effort was his only studio date of the 1957-62 period. Highlights of the brief (33-minute) set include "To Each His Own," "Little Girl Blue" and "There's a Lull In My Life."

In early 1956, Bing Crosby ended the two long-term company affiliations that had defined his career for more than 20 years, leaving his exclusive associations with Paramount Pictures and Decca Records. Thereafter, he made movies and records on a freelance basis. The immediate results were more felicitous for his film work than his recording, as he went to MGM for the successful movie High Society. As a recording artist, in rapid succession he cut the movie soundtrack for Capitol (January-February); a new album for Decca, Songs I Wish I Had Sung (The First Time Around) (April); and a new album for Verve, Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings (June).

Given his brief lifespan, the multi-talented musician Paolo Sandrini made a considerable impact in his thirty-one years. He was born in Gorizia, in what is now the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, an area representing a border between various ethnicities, most especially those speaking Germanic, Italian, and Slavic languages. At the time when Sandrini was born, Gorizia was part of the Holy Roman Empire, governed politically from Vienna. Culturally, the coastal regions east of Venice were predominantly Italian, usually speaking the Venetian dialect, at least as far as Fiume (now Rijeka).
