Contemporary jazz releases, week 36

This week's contemporary jazz releases highlight a rich convergence of legacy and innovation. Notable entries include Gretchen Parlato's major new album 'The Wise Ones', the collaborative work of Branford Marsalis and Dianne Reeves honoring Coltrane's ballads, and Pat Metheny's visualizer for 'Word From Bird' with Ornette Coleman. Additional releases from the Le Boeuf Brothers, Brent Birckhead, Dan Siegel, Kevin Fort, Andy Brown, and corto.alto further expand the genre's expressive range. Meanwhile, Marcus Miller reflects on a pivotal moment from 1984, and a special keyboard feature celebrates Larry Goldings, Omar Sosa, Hiromi, and others, alongside tributes to Wayne Shorter and Jim Beard.
