Different Noises (Playlist) - Bob Osborne
Bob Osborne’s World of Jazz #792
“This is big band music rich in creativity, smooth as velvet, and pulsing with exotic rhythms, medium swing tunes and refreshing arrangements.”
This selection offers a sophisticated journey through the contemporary jazz landscape, balancing melodic tradition with rigorous avant-garde exploration. The sequence moves seamlessly from the elegant, Goodman-inspired tones of Harry Skoler and the rhythmic drive of the Motor City Jazz Octet into the more abstract, adventurous territories of Ava Mendoza and Joel Futterman. Featuring a rich blend of international voices and experimental improvisations, this collection celebrates jazz’s capacity for both quiet reflection and exhilarating, boundary-pushing energy.
