Leo Larrett, Casa Roxa was released on July 25, 2025. "Guitarist Leo Larratt hits the ground running on this debut album with Emmet Cohen/p, Russell Hall/b and Aaron Kimmel/dr. He’s got a great touch, showing a head nod to the tradition of the likes of Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery and Grant Green, but letting all of these gents from the past help guide him to form his own signature sound."

Pat Bianchi, Confluence was released on February 20, 2026. "This record feels destined to be timeless. Though unmistakably modern, it possesses the enduring quality of great acoustic albums, music built to travel across decades, earning the respect of listeners who will inevitably draw inspiration from its craftsmanship. It is beautiful, elegant, majestic, inventive, and quite literally exhilarating. More than that, it stands as a quiet manifesto for the future of the jazz organ trio: a reminder that innovation does not require abandoning tradition, but rather reimagining it with courage and intelligence. This is an album to be savored slowly, ideally among friends, and one that will continue to resonate long after the final notes fade." You can read the rest of the review here...
