This week on Visions, I play a lot of my new music discovery. I feature brand new releases from the Kris Davis Trio, Linda May Han Oh and Melissa Aldana’s newest record, and FATHERS, the newest album from Nate Smith, Kiefer, CARRTOONS, and Kenny Beats.

I play artists new to me, new jazz underground and Joy Harjo, plus music released this year from Adam O’Farrill, Lakecia Benjamin, and María Grand.

I round everything out with classic cuts from Philly Joe Jones, Miles Davis, Lonnie Liston Smith, Charles Tolliver, and more.

Check out the playlist below and listen to the episode on-demand for two weeks after it airs using the media player above.
