"Sains et saufs" is the 2025 album by French singer Zaz, featuring songs about personal journey and resilience. It is her sixth studio album, released via the Tôt Ou Tard label, and includes collaborations with artists like Raphaël. The album has been described as a collection of personal and universal songs with a blend of her signature chanson, jazz, and pop influences.

There was no way that Wyatt's follow-up to Rock Bottom could be as personal and searching, but this album that came barely a year later instead collects some earlier material to be revamped for this release. "Soup Song," for instance, is a rewrite of "Slow Walkin' Talk," written before the forming of Soft Machine. "Team Spirit," written with Phil Manzanera and Bill MacCormick of Quiet Sun, would turn up the same year as "Frontera" on Manzanera's Diamond Head. While some of the songs tend to plod along, the dirge-like "Five Black Notes and One White Notes," a lethargic cover of Offenbach's "Baccarole," Charlie Haden's "Song for Che," and Fred Frith's piano team-up with Wyatt on "Muddy Mouth" are magical. As usual, the assembled band, including the underrated Gary Windo on sax and Mongezi Feza on trumpet, never dissapoint.

The third volume that Francesco Tristano dedicates to his beloved Johann Sebastian Bach, following the six Partitas and the six English Suites, comprises all seven Toccatas, BWV 910-916, early works likely dating from the period 1707-1715. Here, the Luxembourger celebrates above all the exuberant, captivating joy of the young Bach.

Recorded during a spellbinding performance in Italy at Jazz a Forlì in November 2024, La Giostra captures the magic of an unexpected yet natural meeting between two unique musical worlds. On one side, Guano Padano – Alessandro “Asso” Stefana, Zeno De Rossi, and Danilo Gallo – known for their evocative blend of cinematic desertscapes, western dust, and psychedelic jazz. On the other, Enrico Rava – a poetic and visionary composer who has graced the global jazz scene for decades with his unmistakable lyricism and fiery spirit.

The Contemporary Echo of a visionary pianist Miguel Ángel Acebo presents Scriabin Notebook, a new album released by IBS Classical, bridging the visionary world of Alexander Scriabin with contemporary Spanish musical creation. Recorded at the Auditorio Manuel de Falla in Granada, the album features works by Jesús Torres, José Manuel López López, José María Sánchez-Verdú, and Francisco Domínguez, alongside emblematic pieces by the Russian composer.

A Storm Is Coming is a ten-track journey from tension to release, where blues-rock soul and alternative edge collide. Led by Rebecca's characteristic, powerhouse vocal, the album marries guitar punch, Hammond glow and chant-along refrains that will be at home both on radio and in a room full of raised voices.

Racines is the musical project of Laurent Perrault-Jolicoeur, a McGill-qualified jazz bassist, and Zal Sissokho, a korafola known for his off-the-beaten-track projects such as Kora Flamenca and Famalé. Together, the two composers seek to reweave and retrace the links between Mandingo and jazz music through their compositions that hybridise the rhythms, harmony and improvisation of each of these traditions.
