Rave - 5 star review on Johannes Enders upcoming release, “Phantom Happiness” from Mike Gates on UKVibe! “ … Enders’ sound defines the album. His tenor never needs to shout for attention. It is warm, beautifully rounded, and conversational, with a maturity that lets every phrase carry weight. There aren’t many saxophonists who can achieve this effortless grace so naturally.

Phantom Happiness is thoroughly modern jazz with history in its bones. A beautifully written and stunningly played record, it surely stands as one of Enders’ crowning moments.“ Thanks Mike Gates and Steve Williams at ukvibe Jorge Rossy Rainer Böhm ENJA RECORDS

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION · GRAMMY® AWARDS: JARED SCHONIG BIG BAND - LIVE AT DIZZY'S

NOMINATED CATEGORIES:
Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album
Big Band: Live at Dizzy’s
Jared Schonig

Best Jazz Performance
Canyons
Jared Schonig Featuring Nicole Zuraitis

Best Instrumental Composition
Canyons (Live)
Jared Schonig & Adam Neely, composers

“Canyons” was co-written during the pandemic with the great bassist/composer Adam Neely. Schonig elaborated, “we go way back to when he was a student in the BMI Jazz Composers Workshop and I was the house drummer. Miho Hazama first created an arrangement to feature the vocalist Michael Mayo. He wasn’t available for the date so I thought about who this would be great for and Nicole Zuraitis came to mind. Her performance on this tune is one of my favorite parts of this record. She sings an incredible solo that is just mesmerizing.”

The Jared Schonig Big Band is an elite group of musicians, as ego-less and in servitude of the greater musical good as a group of crème-de-la-crème artists could be. Hearing them in all their glory, live at one of NYC’s finest jazz rooms, on Jared Schonig Big Band – Live at Dizzy’s, is a treat. Featured on this recording are many of the drummer/composer’s gems, arranged by some of the most acclaimed big band leaders/arrangers/composers working today, including Mike Holober, Miho Hazama, John Daversa, Alan Ferber, Jim McNeely and Laurence Hobgood. Schonig’s love for large ensemble and big band music runs deep to his early forays into jazz, and many of these arrangers were initially heroes to the drummer/composer who then became colleagues and ‘bosses’ when Schonig became a much-in-demand sideman on NYC’s thriving big band scene. Encapsulated in Schonig’s “hits” heard on Live at Dizzy’s such as “White Out,” “Sound Evidence,” and “Eight Twenty,” is an unstoppable life-force and energy that is contagious. The music stirs up a dust cloud within, perhaps reminding you of someone you love, a beautiful memory, something you’re looking forward to on the horizon, or maybe rekindling sparks of an unfulfilled dream... https://conta.cc/4dueqEa

Mark Your Calendars - October 15 at Five Spot Jazz - Pianist/Composer YANIV TAUBENHOUSE Plays Music From New Album, Moments in Trio Vol. 4 - Circles

Pianist/Composer YANIV TAUBENHOUSE
Announces the Release of Moments in Trio Vol. 4 - Circles Featuring Yaniv Taubenhouse – Piano, Rick Rosato – Bass & Jerad Lippi - Drums, Available – November 13, 2026 on Fresh Sound/New Talent

“ . . . Taubenhouse is, above all, a seductive pianist. He pursues lavish beauty unashamedly. For him, technical elements serve emotional, spiritual, and atmospheric purposes . . . Taubenhouse can cast a spell like Abdullah Ibrahim, but his energy is edgier . . . Remember his name. His present is intriguing. His future could be more so.”
– Thomas Conrad, JazzTimes Magazine

Pianist/composer Yaniv Taubenhouse has once again assembled his mighty trio, going on thirteen years of creating music together, and featuring the talents of Rick Rosato on bass and Jerad Lippi on drums, to create their fourth tour-de-force, Moments in Trio Volume Four – Circles (available November 13, 2026 on Fresh Sound/New Talent). This album is the fourth in Taubenhouse’s series of documenting his fascinating trio, following up, “Vol. 1 Moments in Trio,” “Vol. 2 Perpetuation,” and “Vol. 3 Roads.” The trio’s camaraderie, solidarity and sky-high level of musicianship is unmistakable throughout their work together. As Mike Gates stated on UKVibe, “There needs to be an intuitive togetherness, one which conveys a creative path of interest. This trio has this in abundance.” Masters make it look easy, and sound easy, and Taubenhouse and his trio are in such command of their instruments, and completely in an egoless lockstep with each other, that this brilliant music feels breezy, and light-footed. It is awe-inspiring and exhilarating on many levels. In the face of the long, storied history of the piano trio in jazz, Taubenhouse, Rosato and Lippi continue their creative journey and succeed in finding unique artistic paths, and a singular collective voice, https://conta.cc/4elg7Ed

DENNIS MITCHELTREE Plays SEEING RED in Los Angeles, San Francisco & Oakland!!!

October 6 - Dawn Club, San Francisco
October 7 - Bird and Beckett, San Francisco
October 8 - Soundroom, Oakland
October 9 - Mr. Tipples, San Francisco
October 10 - Meyhouse Jazz, San Ramon
December 20 - The G Spot, Los Angeles

"...Seeing Red is not simply another contemporary jazz album. It is an album that feels necessary. Not because it offers easy solutions to a world that has become increasingly difficult to understand, but because it reminds us that music can still create a space where people listen to one another. And perhaps, in the end, that is the most radical thing an album can do today." - Thierry De Clemensat, Paris-Move

Seeing Red is a sonic reaction to the state of the world, and a testament to the infinite power of creating music, played by Mitcheltree’s longstanding quartet of Dennis Mitcheltree - tenor saxophone, Johannes Wallmann – piano, Jesse Crawford – bass & Bill McClellan - drums https://conta.cc/4xPTBdP

Saxophonist-Composer JOHANNES ENDERS Presents First Single From His New Recording
PHANTOM HAPPINESS

Featuring an international quartet of strong musical personalities united by a shared sonic ideal of depth, freedom, and narrative power – Johannes Enders-tenor saxophone, Rainer Böhm-piano, Doug Weiss-bass & Jorge Rossy-drums

Available November 6, 2026 Worldwide on Enja Records

With over 30 albums as a leader or co-leader to his credit, Johannes Enders has established himself as one of the most important voices on saxophone in Europe. On Phantom Happiness, his latest for the Enja label, Enders explores a new batch of his evocative compositions with longtime working colleague Rainer Böhm on piano and seasoned veterans Doug Weiss on bass and Jorge Rossy on drums. Together they strike a highly interactive accord on originals like the driving “Destination Peace,” the gently melodic “Shooting Star Before Bedtime” and the intimate ballad “Losing You,” along with the introspective “Why” and briskly swinging title track. For a change of pace, they conjure up Sunday church service on the gospel-tinged “Sunday Blues,” then lay down some grooving funk on “A Little Too Friendly” before settling into a melancholy mood on the rubato closer, “7680.” https://conta.cc/3VgHBEx
