An album comprising the first recordings of Steve Reich’s two latest works—Jacob’s Ladder (2023) and Traveler’s Prayer (2020)—is out now on Nonesuch. Jacob's Ladder, performed by the New York Philharmonic, conducted by Jaap van Zweden, and Synergy Vocals, was made during its October 2023 world premiere at Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall. “Lovely and refreshing," says the New York Classical Review. "Superb." Traveler's Prayer, performed by Colin Currie Group and Synergy Vocals, was made at Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall in 2023. "The tone of its score, from first note to last, is sustained sublimity," says the Los Angeles Times. The two pieces were first released earlier this year digitally and as part of the 27-disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works.

“I’m excited for everyone to hear 'The Highway Knows,' because it’s one of my favorite songs on the new record," Molly Tuttle says of the new single from her upcoming album, So Long Little Miss Sunshine. "I had written the finger-picked guitar part that you hear in the chorus a few years ago, and finally last year, Ketch Secor and I dug up the voice memo of that guitar scrap and wrote words to it. This song is all about finding the person you want to journey through life with." You can watch the video for the song, directed by Fletcher Moore, here. And tune in to see Tuttle perform it on CBS Saturday Morning this weekend.

Cécile McLorin Salvant’s new album, Oh Snap, is due September 19. It comprises 12 very personal songs by the singer/composer (plus a cover of a verse from the Commodores’ 1977 hit “Brick House”) mostly recorded outside of a traditional studio environment. The songs showcase her genre-spanning tastes and influences from her 1990s childhood in Miami—from boy bands to grunge to classical to folk—and include party tracks with beats, samba grooves, and quiet folk songs. Salvant wrote the intimate songs as part of a creative quest: To place spontaneity and joy at the center of her writing process. The album features longtime collaborators Sullivan Fortner, Yasushi Nakamura, and Kyle Poole, plus cameos from singers June McDoom and Kate Davis. You can watch a video for the title track here.

Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride, and Marcus Gilmore were at Chenery Auditorium in Kalamazoo, Michigan, for The Gilmore in April, performing songs by Mehldau, Cole Porter, Thelonious Monk, and more.

Brad Mehldau’s new album of songs by Elliott Smith, Ride into the Sun, is out August 29.

Molly Tuttle gives a solo performance of "That's Gonna Leave a Mark," the first single from her upcoming album, So Long Little Miss Sunshine, in a new video. "I wrote ‘That’s Gonna Leave a Mark’ with my friend Kevin Griffin," she says. "It’s fun, sort of sassy, and that guitar part is one of my favorites that I play on the record." You can watch it here.
