Phil Haynes Trio – Return to Electric
This may be one of the most surprising and quietly subversive albums of recent memory—the kind of record to guard jealously in your collection, and to bring out only in the company of true connoisseurs.
![Phil Haynes / Ben Mondler - Transition[s]](https://www.paris-move.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/a0367414578_10-270x270.jpg)

Phil Haynes / Ben Monder – Transition[s]
This is an album that asks for time, for contemplation, something increasingly rare in today’s world. These two master musicians invite us in through the front door.

Shiri Zorn & George Muscatello – Looking For The Light
There’s beauty in the sound, beauty in the voice; a simplicity that turns luminous in the fragile complexity of a voice delicately framed. And what a voice it is.
| Jazz |
Jed Levy – Faces and Places
This is an album to put in the hands of anyone curious about jazz. It’s a bridge between classic and contemporary, between intellectual pursuit and emotional immediacy. It won’t alienate; it will invite.
| Jazz |
Joanie Pallatto and Bradley Parker-Sparrow – Song
In a time when vulgarity often dominates the cultural landscape, this album rises like a rare flower in the middle of a crowded garden. It sings. It breathes. It means something.
| Rock |
ROSENTHAL – Essais Libres
ROSENTHAL nous gratifie cette fois de l’équivalent des “Scoops 1, 2 & 3” de leur idole Pete Townshend, en livrant pas moins de 18 démos dûment finalisées de leurs expérimentations studio.
| Klezmer |
MARC CROFTS KLEZMER ENSEMBLE – Urban Myths
Ashkenaze et séfarade par sa mère (et anglais par son père), Marc Crofts s’est forgé une identité musicale dépassant ses origines, ce qui lui vaut de jouer avec des musiciens du monde entier, d’Istanbul jusqu’à Séville.
| Blues |
CAROLYN WONDERLAND – Truth Is
Ni sourd ni aveugle, Bruce Iglauer ne s’y est pas trompé, et ce disque reflète fidèlement le talent et le feeling impressionnants d’une grande dame.
| Jazz |
Ellie Martin – Morning Glories
Ellie Martin delivers a work of such caliber that she makes us forget her exceptional vocal technique through the sheer honesty of her artistry.
| Jazz |
Nancy Kelly – Be Cool
This album is a masterclass in style and control; a showcase for an artist whose technical command is matched by a deep reverence for the genre.
| Jazz |
Sean Nelson & New London Big Band – Don’t Stop Now
This album makes one thing clear: these players aren’t here to prove anything. They embody this music. You can hear the joy, the respect, the sheer craft in every bar.

TRACK DOGS – The Essential – Tracks Laid, Tracks Covered
Voici enfin l’anthologie top-notch à destination de ceux qui auraient jusqu’alors méconnu ou mésestimé cet essential outfit de l’americana vibrante et actuelle.

Zhengtao Pan Jazz Orchestra – Scenery In My Story
Scenery in My Story is more than a collection of songs; it’s a vivid musical memoir, each piece a chapter in a story told through lush textures and evocative melodies.
| Jazz |
Nils Kugelmann Trio – Life Score
The trio led by Nils Kugelmann is bound to surprise you; not only through the originality of its musical propositions but also through the sheer quality of its compositions and arrangements.
| Electro, Indie rock, Indus |
MARTINE – Devenir
Power trio à elle seule (basse, guitare, batterie), elle signe avec ce premier album un manifeste dont elle assume la moitié des compositions seule (et l’autre moitié avec le bassiste Thomas Robin).
| Jazz |

| Blues |
TOMMY CASTRO and the PAINKILLERS – Closer To The Bone
Vingt-troisième album de celui que Tom Callahan, de la revue Burt, compare, au niveau vocal, à Otis Redding, et à je ne sais à combien de guitaristes au niveau de la maîtrise de l’instrument.
| Jazz moderne |
DELPHINE DEAU – Prepare For Dowland
Pour sa première création en solo, Delphine Deau se lance un défi de taille, un challenge hautement risqué, réimaginer des œuvres de la Renaissance sur “piano préparé”. Une œuvre puissante!
| Jazz, Smooth Jazz |
Kim Waters – Time 2 Groove
This is the album of a free man, a free artist; someone who knows how to reconnect with himself and draw inspiration from well beyond stylistic boundaries.
| Blues, Jazz |
Planet D Nonet – Planet D Presents Doctor Professor Leonard King In Tribute To Joe Williams
An album that presents itself almost as a historical document, and here’s how the story begins: It was a Sunday afternoon, December 17, 2023. I was on my way to the Cadieux Café, on Detroit’s east…
| Jazz |
Medler Sextet – River Paths
Here, we witness another kind of bridge between past and present. The acoustic format of this album renders it timeless.

Charlie Balantine – East by Midwest
In this trio configuration, Ballantine seems to undertake a demanding exercise in style; one that proves challenging to navigate.
| Jazz |
Dr. Purgatory – The Consumption: A Tragic Folktale in Six Parts
