There’s a wide array of energies, directions and styles among the new releases sampled in this edition of OMJ. The Dutch power-seekers, Spinifex, have a new album called “Undrilling The Hole” and it looks like the sextet is looking for North American exposure too. ### The brilliant pianist Angelica Sanchez hooked up with fiery Argentine saxophonist Camila Nebbia for a duet unlike any other this year. ### The Bad Plus, now a quartet with Chris Speed & Ben Monder, dropped “Complex Emotion”, their second as a quartet. ### Trumpeter & conceptualist Rob Mazurek found the perfect spot for a live recording with his Exploding Star Orchestra – the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. ### Vancouver’s Peggy Lee and Cole Schmidt (cello and guitar) combine for some fire on”Forever Stories of: Moving Parties”. ### Much more, including the Rich Halley 4, new quartets from England, and Hearts and Minds, a Chicago uber new funk trio.
