    John Shannon: A Day in Tarifa

    PITTSBURGH: when it comes to bluesy, soulful, straight-ahead jazz, few American cities swing like Pittsburgh. Guitarist John Shannon, a Pittsburgh native, follows in the lineage of George Benson, Jimmy Ponder, Joe Pass, and Joe Negri — masters, each rooted in Pittsburgh, who carried the City of Bridges’ singular dialect onto the world stage. Shannon carries that legacy forward on his debut full-length jazz album, A Day in Tarifa, now available on Jazzbook Records. The organ-trio set features Cliff Barnes on Hammond organ and James Johnson III. on drums, and its originals range from hometown landmarks like “Four One Two” and “Liberty Bridge” to the windswept Spanish coast that inspired its title track. Let’s discover the blues!

    Duo FAE: Dissidents of the Gilded Age

    WASHINGTON, D.C.: Dissidents of the Gilded Age is Duo FAE’s tribute to three pioneering women composers whose work and lives defied the social confines of their time. Featuring Trois Morceaux op. 31 by Cécile Chaminade, Violin Sonata in A minor, op. 7 from suffragette Dame Ethel Smyth, and Amy Beach’s sweeping Violin Sonata in A minor, op. 34, these chamber works for violin and piano stand as acts of bold artistic and political expression. Anchored in the women’s suffrage movement of the 19th and early 20th centuries, this collection connects historical and musical dissidence with the present and enduring fight for Women’s Rights. Let’s discover the classical music of Women’s Rights!

    NEW YORK CITY: When the COVID-19 pandemic brought New York’s bustling walkways to a standstill, saxophonist Andrew Hadro saw the opportunity of a lifetime. The historic Cleft Ridge Span in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park held a bounty of sonic possibilities, and the rare stillness provided the perfect environment for recording music. ArchMusic documents Hadro’s performance under the bridge, where the saxophone’s iconic timbre combines with one-of-a-kind acoustics and reverberations to create a sound that’s entirely unique. Let’s discover the sound of a silent New York City!
