As 2025 unfolds, Timeshift stands out as one of the year’s most imaginative and rewarding jazz releases. It’s a record that doesn’t simply entertain, it challenges, invites, and ultimately transports.

With Impermanence, his latest album, Ben-Or takes a deeply personal turn, offering not just a collection of compositions, but a philosophical statement on music, creation, and identity.

Jazz

What Glen Dickson and his accomplice Bob Familiar offer isn’t just music in any conventional sense. It’s closer to poetry, cerebral, unhurried, insistent. A soundscape to be read, not simply heard.

These two albums shine a spotlight on some of the most intellectually rigorous and emotionally charged saxophone compositions of the 20th century, works that continue to resonate and instruct.

Steve Holt’s “Impact”: A Love Letter to Classic Jazz With a Contemporary Soul. In a world of streaming ephemera and algorithm-driven playlists, Impact feels deliberate, crafted, and alive.

One of the most beautiful albums of 2025, a record written and performed not to impress the world, but to express the heart. It’s an open door. All we have to do is walk through.

Defiant Life is a kind of cosmic poetry. Its improvisations feel like the murmurs of space itself, or perhaps the echoes of a collective imagination. It is as much a mental and emotional terrain as it is a sonic one.

Vagabond is exactly what the title suggests: a musical road trip, drifting through eras, moods, and genres.
