Ben Folds - Sleigher - New West Records
Christmas is constant, says Ben Folds. Allowing you to take stock of whats different, to understand who you are and all the ways youve grown and changed. That notion lies at the heart of Folds brilliantly titled new holiday collection, Sleigher. Built on an eclectic mix of originals and reimagined classics, the album examines thepassage of time through the lens of Christmas, reflecting on memory, loss, and longing as it explores the variety of ways the yuletide season marks the chapters of our lives. The songs are playful here, full of humor and cheer, but theyre also laced with an inescapable sense of melancholy, a looming darkness that always seems to hover around the periphery of those late December nights. Folds performances, meanwhile, flirt with the standards while stretching the boundaries of tradition, at times offering up flashes of Vince Guaraldi and Burt Bacharach while still remaining true to Folds singularly virtuosic brand of off-kilter indie pop. The result is not so much a Ben Folds Christmas record as it is a Ben Folds record set at Christmas, a meditation on the inexorable turning of the calendar and our ever changing selves as observed at the most wonderfuland challengingtime of the year.

Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue - Blue Note Records
Guitarist Kenny Burrell debuted on Blue Note Records in 1956 and over the following 7 years made a series of excellent albums for the label that culminated with his masterwork Midnight Blue. Recorded in 1963, the album waded deep into the blues, conjuring an alluring late-night vibe with a profoundly soulful cast including tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, bassist Major Holley, Jr., drummer Bill English, and Ray Barretto on congas. Burrell originals including Chitlins con Carne, Midnight Blue, Saturday Night Blues, and the stunning solo guitar piece Soul Lament set the tone for this timeless classic adorned by one of the all-time great Reid Miles cover designs.
Hank Mobley - Soul Station - Blue Note Records
Tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley had already led nine dates for Blue Note Records by the time he arrived at Rudy Van Gelders studio on February 7, 1960 with pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Art Blakey, but on that day the quartet laid down what would become his masterpiece: Soul Station. The crystalline six-song set was a showcase for Mobleys lyrical flow from the breezy opening take on Irving Berlins Remember through bluesy originals like Dig Dis and the title track, and the swinging up-tempo numbers This I Dig of You and Split Feelins. Soul Station endures as a jazz classic for the ages.

MoonMusic, which was produced by Max Martin, is available to pre-order everywhere now.
In tandem withColdplays ground-breaking sustainability measures on their current tour - which has so far produced 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour - the band have gone to great lengths to make the physical release ofMoonMusicas sustainable as possible.
This will be the world's first album released as a 140g EcoRecord rPET LP, with each copy containing nine recycled PET-plastic bottles recovered from post-consumer waste. This will prevent the manufacture of more than 25 metric tonnes of virgin plastic, and provide an 85% reduction in manufacturing process CO2 emissions/kg compared to traditional 140g vinyl.
Additionally, the band have collaborated with long-time partners The Ocean Cleanup to create an additional format: the Notebook Edition EcoRecord rPET LP. The rPET for this edition comprises 70% river plastic, intercepted by The Ocean Cleanup from the Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala, and prevented from reaching the Gulf of Honduras and the Atlantic Ocean.
The CD editions ofMoonMusicwill be the worlds first to be released on EcoCD, created from 90% recycled polycarbonate,sourced from post-consumer waste streams. This will provide at least a 78% CO2/kg emission reduction, and avoid the manufacture of more than five metric tonnes of virgin plastic.
In an effort to reduce waste, the first edition run ofMoonMusic(both EcoRecord rPET LP and EcoCD) will be strictly limited and produced at a higher specification than any future editions. All First Edition EcoRecord rPET LP products will be individually numbered.

Booker Little - Booker Little 4 & Max Roach (Blue Note Tone Poet) - Blue Note Records
Memphis-born trumpeter Booker Little was a bright light of the jazz world who died tragically young at age 23. A prodigiously talented hornman as well as a composer, Little first came to prominence as a member of Max Roachs band which he joined in 1956 after the death of Clifford Brown, another trumpet great gone far too soon. Little only made a handful of albums as a leader during his brief career including his astounding debut Booker Little 4 & Max Roach recorded in 1958 for United Artists when he was just 20 years old. The full breadth of Littles artistry leaps out of the grooves with his brilliant tone, astonishing technique, and inventive lines matched by Roachs fiery drums throughout this engaging set that also featured George Coleman on tenor saxophone, Tommy Flanagan on piano, and Art Davis on bass. The album opens with Miles Davis Milestones and includes the standards Sweet and Lovely and a stunning version of Moonlight Becomes You, but the albums centerpiece is the trio of Little originals: Rounders Mood, Dungeon Waltz, and Jewels Tempo.
Donald Byrd - Kofi (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records
Drawn from two sessions recorded in December 1969 and December 1970, and not first released until 1995, Kofi found Donald Byrd in the early stages of his transformation from top-notch hard bop trumpeter to fusion pioneer. Byrd had already begun to move away from a pure hard bop sound with his album Fancy Free in the Spring of 1969, and the two Kofi sessions straddled the recording of his adventurous fusion album Electric Byrd. The first Kofi session subtly explored a new realm of sounds on Byrds originals Kofi and Fufu with producer Duke Pearsons electric piano shimmering underneath textured arrangements featuring Lew Tabackin on flute and tenor saxophone, Frank Foster on tenor saxophone, William Campbell on trombone, Ron Carter on acoustic bass, Bob Cranshaw on electric bass, and Airto Moreira on drums. The following 1970 session produced two more vibey Byrd originalsPerpetual Love and Elminaadding Wally Richardson on guitar and Mickey Roker on drums with Moreira playing percussion along with Dom Um Romo.
