SUMMARY:Cancelled: Dan Wilson Organ Trio
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist Dan Wilson’s musical path began in the church community of Akron\, Ohio\, where gospel first shaped his sound and purpose. Channeling the lineage of Wes Montgomery and George Benson while absorbing blues\, hip-hop\, and the phrasing of great horn players\, Wilson has developed what many describe as a deeply lyrical and personal voice. After graduating from Hiram College\, he made his recording debut with Joe McBride and rose to international prominence through his work with Joey DeFrancesco\, earning a GRAMMY® nomination for Project Freedom. Wilson has also toured with Christian McBride\, who produced his acclaimed album “Vessels of Wood and Earth” for Brother Mister Productions. Having shared the stage with leading jazz luminaries\, Wilson continues to balance performing\, bandleading\, and education\, bringing what he calls “a personal dialect” to the modern guitar-organ tradition.

SUMMARY:Kaki King
DESCRIPTION:Dubbed by Rolling Stone as “a genre unto herself\,” Brooklyn\, NY-based Kaki King has proven to be just that. Her career has taken her all over the world\, sharing stages with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters\, contributing music to award-winning films (Sean Penn’s Into The Wild)\, and performing at the London Jazz Festival and the Paris Les Femmes s’en Melent. Her explorations into the guitar and multimedia have led to the creation of groundbreaking work such as The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body\, Modern Yesterdays\, and a new multi-media musical production for children called BUGS. Kaki continues to create\, perform\, and lend her musical voice to the forefront of contemporary music\, as shown on her 2025 EP\, Tutto Passa\, and recent album\, SEI\, the soundtrack to a unique performance piece where guitarists become dancers\, coordinating their whole bodies to perform the rigors of both choreography and composition. Endorsed by Ovation Guitars\, Kaki released the EP Stop Sometime last August.

SUMMARY:Takuya Kuroda
DESCRIPTION:Kobe-born\, Brooklyn-based trumpeter Takuya Kuroda is dedicated\, and his eighth studio record\, Everyday\, is proof of that. Since 2022’s Midnight Crisp praised by PopMatters as a ‘future classic’ Kuroda has continued his daily pursuit of the ‘perfect blend of production and organic performance.’ Everyday dives deeper into hip-hop and neo-soul\, delivering a triumph of genre-blending modern jazz with sure-footed\, virtuosic playing on trumpet\, synth\, and Rhodes. After studying composition at The New School\, Kuroda performed with DJ Premier’s Badder Band and Akoya Afrobeat and recorded for Blue Note and Concord. ‘Groove is the foundation for all the tracks on Everyday\, he says “a record built through constant creation\, refinement\, and forward motion. As Pitchfork noted\, ‘Kuroda’s skill is radiating joy in drawing influence from so many forms.”

SUMMARY:Makaya McCraven
DESCRIPTION:Makaya McCraven is a prolific drummer\, composer and producer. His newest album\, In These Times\, is the triumphant finale of a project 7+ years in the making. It’s a preeminent addition to his already-acclaimed and extensive discography\, and it’s the album he’s been trying to make since he started making records. McCraven believes that the word “jazz” is “insufficient\, at best\, to describe the phenomenon we’re dealing with.” The artist\, who has been aptly called a ‘cultural synthesizer’\, has a unique gift for collapsing space\, destroying borders and blending past\, present\, and future into poly-textural arrangements of post-genre\, jazz-rooted 21st century folk music. Profiled in Vice\, Rolling Stone\, the Guardian\, and NPR\, among other publications\, he and the music he makes today are at the very vanguard of that phenomenon. According to the New York Times\, “McCraven has quietly become one of the best arguments for jazz’s vitality”.
