Modern Jazz Today – Episode #545 (Week of 7-20-2026)
This week’s program moves through contemporary electric grooves, small-group interplay, Latin jazz, post-bop, and modern acoustic settings. The first hour balances rhythmic momentum with reflective ensemble work, while the second hour broadens the palette through vibraphone-led jazz, samba influences, expansive improvisation, and varied international textures.
