As 2025 ripens, the days are beginning to lengthen. The constant flow of high quality new releases in the world of Jazz is showing no sign of abating. Def Jim samples a few in today's Jazz Show, including discs from Mary Halvorson, James Brandon Lewis and Ivo Perelman/Matthew Shipp String Trio. As usual, these and others are interspersed with choice cuts from the dazzling array of recordings visible in Jazz's rear view mirror, the whole cooking up to a highly satisfying Gumbo in which new and old rub together, enhancing the flavour of each. Don't miss it!
