We had a really killer performance and chat session with saxophonist Marcus Strickland and the Twi-Life Band. You can find the whole session, or individual songs, on the NPR Music site. Click here.
Make it a point to check out what some of the baddest young talent in jazz are doing. Not just online, but in the clubs. We have a ton of these sessions on the shelf, so expect more in the coming months. Guitarist Mike Moreno is next.

Bassist Alexis Cuadrado is one of ten bandleaders in the Brooklyn Jazz Underground (BJU), a music cooperative formed in January 2007. In a couple of months, the BJU will launch its own record label. One of the first releases is a quintet record from Cuadrado called Puzzles. Alexis brought his Puzzles Quartet into our studio yesterday. We'll bring you the full session when the record is released to the public. In the meantime, enjoy this video we made:

The Alexis Cuadrado Puzzles Quartet is performing at Smalls, Saturday night at 8pm. It's part of the 2nd Annual Brooklyn Jazz Underground Festival, a three night music feast starting tomorrow night at Smalls, 183 West 10th Street (7th Avenue South).
More about that in another post.

We had a great session with Now vs. Now.
You'll have to wait next month for the complete results, but here's a teaser.
