Composer, producer, saxophonist, and synthesist Josh Johnson's solo album Animative is his third album under his own name and his first for International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. The ten track album—co-produced by Johnson and Paul Bryan, featuring contributions from Meshell Ndegeocello, Macie Stewart, Marquis Hill, Ben Lumsdaine, and others—blends skeletal soul-jazz, post-bop, electronic minimalism, and dreamy ambience. Johnson often uses the saxophone to control a sampler or a drum machine, triggering changes in a loop or an effect, but always in service of a feeling.
On Countertenor, Anthony Roth Costanzo's Nonesuch debut album, the acclaimed singer delves into a wide-ranging survey of falsetto. The record, featuring an ensemble conducted by Dan Schlosberg, comprises a world premiere recording of a new song by Osvaldo Golijov; arias by Philip Glass, Mozart, Vivaldi, and Monteverdi; a traditional Hawaiian song; an early Baroque song by Dowland; a Renaissance song by Morley; a Klaus Nomi-inspired interpretation of John Madara and David White’s “You Don’t Own Me;” and the classic Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons tune “Walk Like a Man.” In his book Countertenor (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), Costanzo takes readers on a journey through his life, his education in art, and the history of his extraordinary voice type.
Robert Plant and Saving Grace's EP Saving Grace: All That Glitters..., first released on vinyl for Record Store Day 2026, follows their acclaimed album Saving Grace. Both feature singer Suzi Dian and a band of musicians from the English countryside that Plant calls home. The EP's four tracks explore the folk and Americana songs that Plant and the band love: the traditional tunes "The Blackest Crow" and "Two Coats," arranged by Robert Plant and Saving Grace, as well as Gillian Welch's "Orphan Girl" and Bert Jansch's "Poison."
Guitarist Jeff Parker's cover of John Coltrane’s composition “Miles’ Mode” was released in celebration of Coltrane’s 100th birthday. Parker is joined by Chris Speed (The Bad Plus) on tenor saxophone, Kaveh Rastegar (Kneebody) on electric bass, and Aaron Steele (Chrome Sparks) on drums for this recording. Parker says: “John Coltrane has been a steady muse for me ever since I started to study his music at a young age. It’s an honor to pay tribute to him on the occasion of his centennial with three of my favorite musicians from the Los Angeles music community.”
Rhiannon Giddens's album Hope Is the Thing with Feathers was inspired by the beauty of people coming together and drawing strength from each other. It was intentionally recorded live with no frills and few overdubs, just pure and essential music that captures the feeling of community, clarity, as well as the joy and power of creating together. From exploring the lineages that make American music to the community-oriented spirit in which it was conceived and recorded, in many ways the album tells the story of the past 20 years of Giddens’ life. The vinyl edition is made from 100% recycled vinyl and is carbon neutral.
Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and virtuoso guitarist Molly Tuttle's So Long Little Miss Sunshine (Acoustic) is a companion EP to her acclaimed Grammy-nominated album So Long Little Miss Sunshine. It was recorded with touring bandmates Vanessa McGowan and Mary Meyer and produced by Steve Berns. The EP strips back five standout tracks from the album and places Tuttle's voice, intricate guitar playing, and songwriting front and center. The intimate recordings offer a fresh perspective on some of the album's most personal songs.
Grammy Award–winning composer Donnacha Dennehy’s Limina features premiere recordings of two pieces: the piano concerto Limina and Violin Concerto, performed by National Symphony Orchestra Ireland, conductor Ryan McAdams, pianist Eliza McCarthy, and violinist Stephen Waarts; it was recorded at the National Concert Hall, Dublin. The five-star Guardian review exclaims: "These two concertos, beautifully paired, again find Donnacha Dennehy writing music that is both firmly grounded—both rhythmically and in his fascination with the harmonic series—and joyously unfettered."
