Hello November! Here is a playlist of my current Bandcamp favorites that include many Courtesy Desk longtime crushes: KCIDY, Laura Ann Singh, Sunno))), Dalek, and Verity Den. www.buymusic.club/list/courtes...

Laura Ann Singh mi doteď byla známá jako někdo, kdo vokálem dotáhne muziku jiných. Mean Reds je ale její deska a já to nemůžu vypnout. Křehkost jak z klasičtějších jazzových nahrávek tu překrývá colemanovská nezávislost a rocková naštvanost. Hlas a hravost. lauraannsingh.bandcamp.com/album/mean-r...

Mean Reds, the debut album from Richmond VA vocalist Laura Ann Singh is OUT NOW! LPs are shipping (and sound amazing) and you can listen anywhere. "A rowdy debut that launches Singh as one of the more distinctive new voices in jazz." --The Guardian outofyourheadrecords.lnk.to/MeanReds

“Referencing avant garde pioneer Ornette Coleman’s free form improvisations as much as Joni Mitchell’s emotive lyricism, the result is a rowdy debut that launches Singh as one of the more distinctive new voices in jazz.” www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...

Mean Reds from the Laura Ann Singh Fracas Quintet, out in a month and it rules. Laura Ann Singh - voice Scott Clark - drums Adam Hopkins - bass John Lilley - saxophone Bob Miller - trumpet

Late June from the album Adam O'Farrill - For These Streets video release this Friday October 3 @ 12pm EST on YouTube and Bandcamp! It'll also be the drop for the very limited (only 25 made) Wax Mage 2xLP on Bandcamp. Late June teaser:

Webber/Morris Big Band have some wildly adventurous jazz here, truly fascinating. There's some just intonation, which might seem intimidating! But there is so much joy and spectacle in this, it can be a carnival if you let it. I feel less certain about the nature of unity after listening, very cool.

Webber/Morris Big Band - Unseparate (OOYH 037) is OUT NOW! Check it out anywhere (except Spotify) and head to Bandcamp to buy a CD (shipping now) or 2xLP (shipping next week). Thanks so much for listening, we hope you enjoy it! outofyourheadrecords.lnk.to/unseparate

I min spalte i Jazznytt #276 Høst 2025 har jeg skrevet om "Strange Heavens" av Linda May Han Oh, Ambrose Akinmusire og Tyshawn Sorey, samt nye album fra hhv. Keefe Jackson/Jacob Heinemann/Adam Shead, Webber/Morris Big Band, og Jacob Garchiks Ye Olde-prosjekt. Jazznytt er ute digitalt og på papir nå.

AMN Reviews – Webber / Morris Big Band – Unseparate (2025; Out of Your Head Records) It has been a five-and-a-half year wait since the debut of this large ensemble co-led by Anna Webber and Angela Morris on saxes and flutes. Both Are True, released in early 2020, was an album of the year. So did…

Weekend listening: Wendy Eisenberg - Bloodletting (Out of Your Head Records, 2021)

It was so nice to talk to Cheryl K. about the OOYH Beacons series earlier this month!

Really fascinating record, this. Tomas Fujiwara's Dream Up, performed by a quartet of percussionists using a myriad of different percussion instruments. Out on September 12. on Out Of Your Head Records. #NowPlaying

The next single from Webber/Morris Big Band - Unseparate, Just Intonation Etudes for Big Band - Pulse, is OUT NOW! Composed by Anna Webber, and featuring some insane solos by Ryan Easter, Nolan Tsang, and Yuhan Su. This one is wild, go hear! outofyourheadrecords.lnk.to/Pulse

Headed in. This is a great label. Do not miss Nick Dunston's Colla Voce in particular. He's with Mary Halvorson in Portland, ME tomorrow @spacegallery.bsky.social, along with many other OOYH artists!

The new Tomas Fujiwara album is ESSENTIAL for fans of percussion. There's alignments that spin out into artful pileups before reconstituting, like a doll that turns to a yarn pile and then pulls itself back together. There's also complex structures that feel impossible to fully behold all at once!

Webber/Morris Big Band - Unseparate listening party tomorrow 9/16 at 7:30pm EST! Hear the full album before 9/26 release. “as cinematic a listening experience as anything since Charlie Haden's 1970 epic Liberation Music Orchestra." —DownBeat webbermorrisbigband.bandcamp.com/album/unsepa...

We have some news about this band coming in the new year, but for now if you’re anywhere near any of these shows, we highly recommend checking them out!

This one is really good. Y'all should give it a listen, or 4, or more.

Bump this with your wallet. It is very good.
