SUMMARY:Magnolia Boulevard
DESCRIPTION:Lexington\, Kentucky’s Magnolia Boulevard has emerged with a renewed sense of purpose\, channeling what they call “Appalachian Soul”: a rich blend of blues\, soul\, rock\, and roots-driven storytelling. Formed by vocalist/guitarist Maggie Noelle and keyboardist Ryan Allen\, the band draws deeply from their regional heritage\, crafting songs that reflect lived experience\, resilience\, and emotional honesty. Their latest self-titled album\, recorded with renowned Kentucky producer Duane Lundy\, showcases eight songs steeped in blues and soul while freely traversing folk\, rock\, and Americana textures. Magnolia Boulevard’s sound is defined by Noelle’s powerhouse vocals\, expressive musicianship\, and an undeniable live chemistry that has earned them a reputation as a rising must-see act across Southern Appalachia and beyond. Rooted in community and driven by intention\, Magnolia Boulevard is steadily breaking onto the national stage: on their own time\, and on their own terms.

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”.

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:John Pizzarelli Presents "Dear Mr. Bennett" 
DESCRIPTION:GRAMMY®-winning guitarist\, vocalist\, and producer John Pizzarelli celebrates the legacy of the legendary Tony Bennett with Dear Mr. Bennett\, a heartfelt tribute released March 3\, 2026 via Green Hill Music. The recording features Pizzarelli’s trio\, bassist Mike Karn and pianist Isaiah J. Thompson\, performing timeless songs made famous by Bennett with warmth\, swing\, and lyrical beauty.

The admiration was mutual; Bennett attended several of Pizzarelli’s performances and even sketched the artwork that appears on the album’s cover. Reflecting on Bennett’s enduring impact\, Pizzarelli says\, “Tony’s artistry was just so magnificent. And he was able to continually reinvent himself.” The trio will tour this repertoire worldwide throughout 2026 and 2027.
