Avant-garde jazz releases, week 36

This week's avant-garde jazz releases highlight enduring legacies and new collaborations, from tributes to John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman to innovative projects by Henry Threadgill, Vijay Iyer, and Dafnis Prieto. Works such as Steve Swallow's Winter Songs, Alexandra Grimal's latest offering, and the ensemble effort Open Or Close by Geof Bradfield, Myra Melford, Ben Goldberg, and Dana Hall reflect the genre's continued evolution. Special attention is given to archival material like Sun Ra's Door of the Cosmos and visualizers for Pat Metheny and Ornette Coleman's reimagined tracks. The week also features a tribute to Wayne Shorter and other keyboard artists in a celebration of musical milestones.
