"I have seen this woman perform live a number of times, and one of the great thrills of watching her has been beholding what she has discovered, what she has unearthed in music that other artists wrote," Wesley Morris says of Cécile McLorin Salvant, his guest on the New York Times' Cannonball. "Their songs become hers, and to a listener, they mean something deeper than the original and often sound completely new." The episode is focused on the art of the cover song—a phrase Salvant doesn't use—and opens with a list of Morris's all-time favorites, on which he includes Salvant's take on Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights," from her 2022 Nonesuch debut album, Ghost Song.

"No other group in jazz, past or present, sounds quite like Mary Halvorson’s Amaryllis," WRTI's The Late Set says of its guest and her band. "A sextet that places her guitar within a shifting matrix—alongside trumpet, trombone, vibraphone, bass, and drums—it’s a chamber ensemble with a dynamic core, forever in a state of flux." Halvorson spoke with Josh Jackson, The Late Set co-host with Nate Chinen, about the band—whose new album, About Ghosts, is on the show's short list for Album of the Year—ahead of a recent concert at Solar Myth in Philadelphia.
