Post-bop releases, week 43

This week's post-bop releases highlight a rich convergence of legacy voices and emerging talents, with new works from Riccardo Del Fra, Ivo Perelman and Matt Shipp, and reimaginings of classic material by Émilie Aridon-Kociołek and Samy Thiébault. Albums from David Murray, Florian Arbenz, Greg Osby, and Bill Frisell, alongside contributions from Cory Weeds, Rahsaan Barber, and David Champagne, underscore the genre's ongoing evolution. Additional releases feature new music from Josh Lawrence, Enrico Rava, Keith Jarrett, and Dave Holland on his 80th birthday, while Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau present two new visualizer tracks. The month-long Monktober celebration continues with fresh takes on Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, and Joe Zawinul, alongside works from Leigh Pilzer, Tyshawn Sorey, Jackie McLean, and Sun Ra.
