MODERN JAZZ TODAY – EPISODE #511 WEEK OF 11-24-2025
This week on Modern Jazz Today, Episode #511 moves from intimate storytelling to wide-screen groove, opening with a tango-flavored spark from the Laura Camacho Tango Project and the Afro-Caribbean Jazz Collective’s rhythmic lift.
The hour deepens with the bold pulse of Out of/Into and the luminous writing of Jane Ira Bloom, before we pivot into a set of modern staples — with Canadian voices like Holly Cole, Harry Bartlett Trio, and Brûlez Les Meubles adding their signature edge.
Hour two threads global color through Till Brönner, Harold López-Nussa, and Jamile’s trio, then rides a late-hour surge of groove and grit with Birdland Big Band, Waitiki 7, and Dave Kline Band.
Thanks for listening and for supporting the artists shaping today’s jazz.
