| The Sleigher: DC Improvisers Collective, 'Mall Santa's on Break' The conventional definition of "free jazz" is that it's jazz played without a predetermined set of chord changes.

| The Hitchhiker's Guide to Yin And Yang: Raise The Alarm EP by Summer Eyes He describes Ben's use of jazz chords and movements as one of his favorite parts of the Summer Eyes songs.

| Hiromi & Edmar Castañeda: Live in Montreal — 'high-energy performance' The opener sets the scene with a flourish of ripples, deft chords and a move into Latin jazz, funk and swing. Hiromi's waltz lullaby "Moonlight Sunshine" shimmers and tinkles before finally resolving with a warm bath cadence. And there is a light-hearted cover of John Williams' "Cantina Band", from the ...
