The third full-length release for the Chicago-area garage rock band was produced by Jim Abbiss. The mild growth and light sophistication they show in spots doesn’t make the record any less of a rollicking good time. Just like they have since their early days, the Orwells bring the songs, the suds, and the knuckleheaded energy to the party.

The Ambiguity Manifesto, the latest album from composer, cornetist and bandleader Taylor Ho Bynum.

Teddy Wilson was one of the swing era’s finest pianists, a follower of Earl Hines’ distinctive “trumpetstyle” piano playing. Wilson forged his own unique approach from Hines’ influence, as well as from the styles of Art Tatum and Fats Waller. He was a truly orchestral pianist who engaged the complete range of his instrument, and he did it all in a slightly restrained, wholly dignified manner at the keyboard.

For the recording of Real Street, singer/harmonica player Tad Robinson traveled to the birthplace of Southern soul: Memphis, Tennessee. There he teamed up with Memphis music legends, organist, Charles Hodges; bassist, Leroy Hodges; and the drummer, Howard Grimes, collectively known as the Hi Rhythm Section at Scott Bomar’s, Electraphonic Recording. The results are ten glorious tracks of blues-infused and passionate soul music. Throughout six originals and four reimagined covers, Robinson’s singing has never been so focused and fluent in the language of the blues and his subtle harmonica playing adds just the right spice to the mix.

Behind the name Cat Squirrel lies a group of Iberian blues ‘pistolleros’ fronted by a pure English blues legend: none other than the immense Mike Vernon. Creator of the Blue Horizon label in the 60s, discoverer/producer/collaborator (take your pick) of some major projects like John Mayall’s legendary Bluesbreakers album, Fleetwood Mac’s very first album or David Bowie’s first recordings, our man has a CV as long as the meanders of the Thames. In short, he knows the blues, and not just a little! And listening to the album ‘Blues What Am’ confirms this beyond any doubt.

Following up his debut album Meditations on Mingus (“Ingenious wrinkles along with dazzling and deeply realized performances from all” — Neil Tesser, Jazziz), bassist Ethan Philion pivots from a larger 10-piece unit to a spry, economical quartet on his brilliant sophomore release Gnosis. The spirit of Charles Mingus is present, most clearly in the quartet’s treatment of “What Love” (Mingus’ epic deconstruction of the Cole Porter standard “What Is This Thing Called Love”). But the focus on this new outing is original music, played with drive and ceaseless invention by alto saxophonist Greg Ward, trumpeter Russ Johnson and drummer Dana Hall joining the leader on bass.

Harlem folkie wonder-cum-Chicago Blues badass Taj Mahal gets the legend treatment for his 70th birthday: Columbia has decided to honor the singer/songwriter/storytellers back pages with a hidden treasures release. Its a long, sweaty affair. Underlying it all, and no matter the kind of music hes playing, when Mahal sings he comes on like the black Bob Dylan: unmannered, guttural, loose but bold, toying with beginnings and endings of lines, at once interpretive of the masters but unlike anything heard before. If you prefer your Soul music with some gristle, and maybe fried in some -Bacon Fat,î then these rarities from early-era Taj is just the ticket.
