Soojin Suh, Damon Locks, Gretchen Parlato, Daniele Sepe & Other New Releases [Mondo Jazz 147-2]

This week we feature plenty of jazz for social justice, exciting piano players and young ensembles, unearthed live gems that are coming out during these COVID times both to remind us of the power of live music and to remedy the lack of new live recordings, and the album that confirms Gretchen Parlato's role in the pantheon of today's best jazz vocalists.

The playlist features Gretchen Parlato; Michael Wolff; Daniele Sepe; Christopher Parker, Kelley Hurt; Damon Locks; Alonzo Demetrius; Matty Stecks & Dead Cat Bounce; Alban Darche; Tania Giannouli; Cat Toren; Soojin Suh; Alexander von Schlippenbach; Daniele Germani.
