Hailed by
DownBeat magazine for his “quick-witted harmonic reflexes, fluid command of
line and cut-to-the-chase sense of narrative logic,” Aaron Goldberg has made his name as one of jazz’s most compelling
pianists, both as a bandleader and frequent collaborator with Joshua Redman,
Wynton Marsalis, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Guillermo Klein and many more. On his new
release, “The Now,” Goldberg reunites with bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer
Eric Harland, the virtuoso rhythm team going all the way to his 1998 debut. On their
fifth outing together, the trio
foregrounds a central truth about the art of playing jazz: that no two
performances will be the same because the music is created, in Goldberg’s
words, “in the dynamic plane of the present.”

Philadelphia
trumpeter Duane Eubanks unveils his
first recording as a leader in over 10 years with “Things of That Particular
Nature.” The late, great pianist Mulgrew Miller provided a brotherly role model
for Eubanks as he began his career as a professional musician, a relationship
that became more akin to that of mentor and friend. Upon leaving Philly,
Eubanks made an immediate splash on the New York jazz scene by forming his own
quintet and releasing a pair of CDs. He has collaborated on projects with a
diverse array of highly respected musicians, including his brothers Robin and
Kevin, Elvin Jones, Dave Holland and Miller.
