New Release Round-up,
Jazz New Release Round-Up - 21st October 2021
The latest jazz releases for this week include a 1960s live set from John Coltrane, remixes of London saxophonist Nubya Garcia’s widely acclaimed debut album, and jazz reinterpretations of J.S. Bach’s ‘Two-Part Inventions’.
The recordings on A Love Supreme: Live in Seattle come from the final night of Coltrane’s week-long stint of shows that culminated in his much-remembered performance at the Penthouse in Seattle. Here, unsurprisingly, Coltrane performs with his classic quartet featured on A Love Supreme - pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones - with the additions of Pharaoh Sanders on tenor saxophone and Donald Garrett playing second bass.

Unsurprisingly, this release from Moisés P. Sánchez features Bach’s Two-Part Inventions, reinterpreted for jazz trio and piano. Citing Bachian principles of reworking musical idioms while retaining their essence, the original tunes remain mostly intact, sometimes adding a swinging rhythm or syncopated bass to spice things up.
