Gregory Groover Jr, Old Knew was released on November 7, 2025. "Gregory Groover follows up his Criss Cross debut Loveaby with a sparkling 11-track set of originals that are custom-built for his sax and vibes front line. Vibraphonist Joel Ross returns and once again his percussive glint and metallic shimmer dovetail neatly with Groover’s rounded airy sound on tenor sax. A fresh, one-off rhythm section knits Kendrick Scott’s drum subtleties with the strength of Harish Raghavan’s bass; pianist Paul Cornish, who recently debuted on Blue Note, provides a fresh-faced spark."

Stacey Kent, A Time For Love was released on April 3, 2026. "Largely known for her bossa nova sway, American singer Stacey Kent has turned toward a more minimalist sensibility in recent years. Her latest release, A Time for Love continues this shift in musical attitude. No less lovely, this reinvention might come as a surprise to some devoted fans. Joined by her husband, saxophonist Jim Tomlinson and pianist Art Hirahara, the trio takes on music covers from a variety of sources like The Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Burt Bacharach and many others."
