Features
  • Lionel Loueke

    Journey of Empathy

    For guitarist Lionel Loueke, the title of his new album—The Journey (Aparté Music)—isn’t merely a metaphor. It reflects both his odyssey from childhood in Benin to his current life as a globe-trotting jazz star while also mirroring his musical development.

  • Marquis Hill

    ‘You’ve Got To Have Meaning’

    Marquis Hill’s Modern Flows Vol. 2 is calibrated with cool precision and delivered with calculated understatement, his trumpet playing filled with the mellifluous tones, cascading lines and outpourings of lyrical invention.

  • Alicia Olatuja

    ‘Be the Change’

    Alicia Olatuja’s new album, Intuition: Songs From the Minds of Women (Resilience Music), is the latest peak in a lifelong journey through music.
