Plenty of interesting new albums this time around, including releases by saxophonist Isaiah Collier, pianist Marta Sanchez, guitarist Travis Reuter, drummer Dan Weiss, drummer Francisco Mela, the Califano-Tino-Marzano trio from Italy, North Carolina trio Tragic Assembly, and Canadian ex-pat trumpeter Steph Richards. Her new “Power Vibe” displays how strong her playing is after dealing with a muscular weakness that affected her playing ability. In a simple vein, saxophonist-actor-producer-painter John Lurie (Lounge Lizards) has released a 56 track double album of selected music used in his HBO series “Painting With John.”. Lurie’s battle with Lyme disease forced him to go into isolation and able only to paint, so it’s a joy to have this music, selected by Lurie, available.
