Jazzwise Editor's Choices from the December 2022 issue include Hedvig Mollestad with the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, the soundtrack to the new Ron Carter documentary Finding the Right Notes, and a duet album by Howard Riley and Keith Tippett.
Finding the Right Notes
Ron Carter
"A total delight by the world’s most consummate jazz bassist."
Available formats: CD, Download & Streaming (up to 48 kHz, 24 bit)
Saudade, Colour of Love
Maria Mendes
"A love letter both to fado and to jazz, and the boundless possibilities that come from marrying the two, Saudade, Colour of Love represents a stunning achievement."
Available formats: CD, Download & Streaming (up to 96 kHz, 24 bit)
Maternity Beat
Hedvig Mollestad & Trondheim Jazz Orchestra
"Mollestad’s great gift is to use music to give voice to those who have had their own taken from them. With this large scale ensemble piece, Mollestad takes a fresh turn in her composing journey by foregrounding vocals. Solberg and Bjornstad’s voices evoke mothers, children and humanity in their most vulnerable yet celebratory incarnations."
Available formats: CD, Download & Streaming (up to 44.1 kHz, 24 bit)

Hedvig Mollestad & Trondheim Jazz Orchestra

Journal Four
Howard Riley & Keith Tippett
"It feels perfectly crafted, as if two artists had covered a canvas together to produce one immaculate painting. As Riley diffidently observes in the liner notes, “It worked, that’s all I can say” – and, indeed, that’s all that needs saying."
Available format: CD
