    nxworries
    Stones Throw Records

    Eight years after their breakthrough debut, NxWorries return with Why Lawd? – a winning combination of Knx’s unmistakeable beats and Anderson .Paak’s instantly recognizable vocals. This time, special guests are invited along for the ride. Featured artists include H.E.R., Snoop Dogg, Thundercat, Earl Sweatshirt, Rae Khalil and more.

    Peggy Gou
    XL Recordings

    The South Korean-born, Berlin-based producer and artist has blazed her own trail as she’s ascended from underground sensation to global icon, becoming one of the most in-demand DJs in the world. I Hear You expands her forward-thinking club music, boldly claiming her voice through the kaleidoscopic lens of ‘90s house music.

    Jesse Daniel
    Lightning Rod Records

    Since releasing his 2018 self-titled debut, Daniel’s earned great esteem as a country traditionalist and built a wildly devoted international following—thanks in no small part to his freewheeling live show. Daniel now offers up his fourth studio album: a high-powered body of work born from his ardent belief in preserving country’s legacy.

    charli xcx
    Atlantic

    In Charli's words - "It's confrontational. it's confident. it's conversational. the lyrics are texts I would send to my friends. It's funny. It's fun. It's a club record so play it loud." Featuring tracks co-produced with Gesaffelstein, Hudson Mohawke, A.G. Cook and others, Brat reinforces Charli as the most important British pop star out there.

    Nduduzo Makhathini
    Blue Note

    South African pianist, composer, philosopher, and healer Nduduzo Makhathini travels beyond any existing notion of music-making to offer his most profound vision of creative mysticism yet with his stunning eleventh studio album. The music is both an offering and an invitation to humanity to cultivate ways of being that strive for freedom and balance.

    Man Man
    Sub Pop

    Carrot on Strings nods to the films of Werner Herzog and Rainer Werner Fassbinder as much as Italo-disco, Randy Newman, goth rock, and avant pop. The results represent a newfound sense of self for Ryan Kattner, who finds himself inspired and at peace both personally and artistically in ways that eluded him for most of his first 15 years playing music.

    Tony Trischka
    Down The Road

    Gifted a thumb drive of rare recordings of Earl Scruggs and John Hartford jamming, Trischka set out to transcribe the private gatherings as an overview of Earl’s career. Now putting it on record, he’s joined by today’s leading bluegrass and old-time stars, including Sam Bush, Vince Gill, Del McCoury, Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle and more.

    Alisa Amador
    Honest Magic Records/Thirty Tigers

    Amador’s music is a synthesis of the many styles she’s voraciously absorbed: rock, jazz, funk and alternative folk, all wrapped in the spirit of the Latin music she grew up with. On Multitudes, the 2022 NPR Tiny Desk Contest winner’s soulful singing, poetically incisive lyrics, and syncopated rhythms will make you cry, laugh, and dance all within one set.

    Inta Somethin' (Pacific Jazz) - Packshot

    Kenny Dorham/Jackie McLean - Inta Somethin' (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records

    Kenny Dorham added stellar entries to the catalogs of Blue Note, Riverside, and New Jazz throughout the 1950s as he solidified his reputation as a leading trumpeter and composer on the jazz scene. He began 1961 in the studio for Blue Note recording his excellent album Whistle Stop and later that year cut his first date for Pacific Jazz, Inta Somethin’, a spirited live recording that captured Dorham leading a quintet with alto saxophonist Jackie McLean, pianist Walter Bishop Jr., bassist Leroy Vinnegar, and drummer Art Taylor at The Jazz Workshop in San Francisco. The band is firing on all cylinders throughout this set of four standards bookended by the Dorham originals “Us” and “San Francisco Beat.” A buoyant version of “It Could Happen To You” is performed quartet as a Dorham showcase, while the trumpeter lays out on “Let’s Face The Music And Dance” and “Lover Man” to give the spotlight to McLean.


    Watkins at Large Packshot

    Doug Watkins - Watkins At Large (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records

    Recorded in 1956 for producer Tom Wilson’s short-lived Boston-based label Transition Records, Watkins At Large was the first of only two albums that the great bassist Doug Watkins would make as a leader. The Detroit native had moved to New York and begun to garner recognition for his contributions to the Art Blakey-Horace Silver co-led iteration of the Jazz Messengers as well as Bud Powell’s trio when Wilson decided to give him the opportunity to front his own recording date. Along with a first-rate ensemble featuring trumpeter Donald Byrd, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, guitarist Kenny Burrell, pianist Duke Jordan, and drummer Art Taylor, Watkins swings through a stellar set of blues, ballads, and more including originals written by Jordan, Burrell, and Thad Jones.
