Here's the full video for "Campinas," the second single from The Hope I Hold, the upcoming release from Ryan Keberle's and Catharsis.
Inspired by the genre-bending music of Brazil, the track features Keberle on lead vocals along with great space-age analog synth tones from his Korg Minilogue. The track also showcases the guitar work of Camila Meza who has established herself in recent years as one of the great guitar players of her generation—and one of the guitar’s most distinctive stylists, period, with an otherworldly ability to meld her vocal and instrumental virtuosity.

PopMatters reviews Douglas/Caine/Cyrille's 'Devotion'
This just in - a great review from PopMatters for Devotion, the new record by Dave Douglas, Uri Caine, and Andrew Cyrille.
Will Layman takes a deep dive on the album, summing it up like this:
"This kind of interplay, the pulling of small strings between three master players, is all over Devotion in one way or another. Inside every performance, there are marvels that defy my ability to write about them."

WBGO premieres first single from 'The Hope I Hold' by Ryan Keberle & Catharsis
WBGO is premiering the video for "Despite the Dream" as part of their weekly Take Five new release feature. It's the first single from The Hope I Hold, the upcoming album from Ryan Keberle and Catharsis.
Nate Chinen writes:
“Despite the Dream” incorporates lilting samba rhythm and a lyrical idea directly from Hughes: pay attention to Meza as she begins, “I’m the one who dreamed,” in a wistful tone. When she gets to the phrase “homeland of the free,” you’ll hear Keberle’s overdubbed voice, pushing against that premise: “The free, the free, who said the free? Not me.”
Watch the the full video here.
The album is available for pre-order on Bandcamp and iTunes now and will be released on June 28. You can also stream this track on Apple Music and Spotify.

WBGO features an exclusive premiere of "Curly" from 'Devotion'
We're big fans of the Newark jazz radio station WBGO and their weekly new release feature Take Five. Today they're featuring an exclusive premier of the lead track from the upcoming Dave Douglas album Devotion.
Nate Chinen has this to say about "Curly":
But the album’s opener stakes out different territory, with just Caine and Cyrille in a playful push-pull exchange. Caine begins the track in a pugilistic 12/8 polyrhythm, before shifting into a steadier gear. But with Cyrille for a conversational partner, he knows he can duck out of the pocket without losing a step. There’s a great deal of kinetic energy in the track — even when, at around 2:30, the tempo opens up and relaxes for a spell. It’s not hard to picture Douglas in the control room, nodding and smiling at this summit, as he waits his turn.
Check out the piece here and hear this great track featuring and Uri Caine, and Andrew Cyrille.
Pre-order the album on Bandcamp and iTunes now. The album will be released on Friday.
