The Shadows and The Light
by Quin Kirchner
supported by 9 fans who also own “Exits”
Really this album is a masterclass in Hard-Bop, Post-Bop, Spiritual jazz, and soul jazz all wrapped up in a impressively cohesive package. It pays tribute to those that came before while still keeping an eye to the future/past.

Works for Upright Bass and Amplifier
by Luke Stewart
supported by 8 fans who also own “Exits”
Urgency, groove, tradition, anger, it's all there in this wonderful bass sound. The pieces reveal different aspects each time I listen to them. Feedback, overtones, shifting patterns, lyrical moments, make this a very contemporary and explorative album, while tone and phrasing at times reaffirm the power of the instrument's tradition.

Good Days
by Chicago Underground Quartet
supported by 8 fans who also own “Exits”
So happy to see a new album from this band. I've long been a fan of Mazurek and Parker's work in Tortoise, on top of the CUQ... Anyhow, if you're curious about contemporary jazz, this is a terrific place to start.
