If you haven't heard of singer/pianist Brittany Davis, find her new album Black Thunder now! Ms Davis, who hails from Seattle and is blind, has released a very exciting recording that evokes echoes of Nina Simone, Betty Carter, Fay Victor and other great female singers. The fact that she and her trio, despite not being all that familiar with one another, cranked out this fully improvised album in two days, makes Black Thunder even more impressive. There's plenty of other great music in this episode, including new releases by Joe Lovano with the Marcin Wasilewski Trio from Poland, Charles Mingus' Quintet live in Buenos Aires, drummer Steve Hirsh's trio, the Dave Rempis-fueled Archer, and new European albums from Polish saxophonist Marek Pospieszalski's Octet with Zoh Amba guesting, the Mathias Landaeus Trio from Sweden, Spindrift from Germany, French bassist Hélène Labarrière, and guitarist Jakob Bro's Large Ensemble.
