New jazz-funk releases: October 26 – November 1, 2026

This week's jazz-funk releases highlight tributes and archival discoveries, from Jason Miles honoring Miles Davis to The Midnight Hour unveiling previously unreleased recordings. New collaborations like ALA.NI and Adrian Younge’s 'Proud of Me' and a deep dive into Herbie Hancock’s creative roots underscore the genre’s enduring influence. Additional releases explore pivotal moments in jazz history, including the 50th anniversary of Stanley Clarke’s 'School Days' and a legendary 1956 studio session by Miles Davis. The spotlight also falls on lesser-known inspirations, such as a watermelon vendor who shaped one of jazz’s most iconic tracks.
