Ben Wolfe, Any Time After Now was released on May 15, 2026.

 

"Bassist and composer Ben Wolfe has been a prominent fixture in the jazz scene for decades, his New York career stretching back to the mid-1980s. For Any Time After Now, he’s brought together a fresh ensemble and written music that serves the group rather than showcasing himself. Melody and atmosphere take precedence, and every player — vibraphonist Joel Ross, pianist Sullivan Fortner, tenor saxophonist Chris Lewis, drummer Aaron Kimmel — sounds like an essential color in the mix."

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."
