Jazz fusion releases, week 43

This week's jazz fusion releases highlight a dynamic convergence of legacy and innovation, featuring James Brandon Lewis's introspective 'Calling Antonin', the ALEX SKOLNICK TRIO's live recording at The Iridium, and new works from Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau. Artists such as Jorge Roeder, Émilie Aridon-Kociołek and Samy Thiébault revisit foundational figures like Weather Report and Wayne Shorter, while emerging voices like Lucas Walters and Ruben Fox expand the genre's boundaries. Releases from Béla Fleck, Florian Arbenz, Greg Osby, and Bill Frisell underscore a continued exploration of texture and rhythm, alongside tributes to Miles Davis and the 50th anniversary of Return to Forever's 'Romantic Warrior'.
