Here are two new and very different records from virtuosos of the jazz harmonica, both seasoned pros, and one of them deserving of much wider recognition.
For David Lynch, “Lost Highway” is a transitional film of sorts, a limbo-like zone between the innocence redeemed in “Blue Velvet” and the innocence corrupted in “Mulholland Drive”.
Three guitarists — Bill Banfield, Ray Obiedo, and Lee Ritenour — release superb albums.
This summer’s installation of new sculptures is evidence that creative interventions in nature can be harmonious.
Performing with the Boston Landmarks Orchestra, dynamic Canadian violinist Adrian Anantawan made music by Piazzolla and Florence Price burn blue hot.
This “Mattress” is all about Sutton Foster. And that’s a good thing.

In Handel’s day, excerpts from his operas were often played at home, without singers. They sound great on this new recording by the group humorously (and quite inaccurately) called False Consonance.

“The Horse” probes the psyche of a man who believes, despite all that has happened to him, in the possibility of renewal.
