Remembering Sonny Rollins, the hugely influential tenor saxophonist and composer whose dedication helped shape modern jazz across seven decades.

We reflect on his life and impact on jazz music as one of the defining voices on the tenor saxophone and a role model for generations to come.

🎧Our Classical Recording of the Week goes to Nico Muhly: With Eys Lift Up, out now on

Featuring 13 premiere recordings, With Eys Lift Up is a new collection of works written by American composer Nico Muhly for - and the majority commissioned by - the Choir of Magdalen College, Oxford.

"Muhly is a master choral miniaturist who combines condensed wit and beauty with a very practical eye on the clock, ensuring that his music is actually suitable for real-life church use.”

Widely recognised for his pivotal role on David Bowie’s Blackstar, McCaslin discusses the writing, recording and production process behind his latest album – a powerful, guitar-driven set of compositions shaped by rock energy, improvisation and studio experimentation.

Our Classical Recording of the Week goes to Martinů: The Symphonies, out now on Deutsche Grammophon - DG

Jakub Hrůša – 2026 International Classical Music Awards “Artist of the Year” and Musical America’s “Conductor of the Year” explores one of the 20th century’s finest symphonic cycles on his new album with the Bamberg Symphony: the six symphonies by Bohuslav Martinů.

Composed during the Czech composer’s American exile, these mature works encompass poetic lyricism, epic tragedy, and Bohemian colour and energy.

Our Jazz Recording of the Week goes to Alive With Ghosts Today by Chris Potter🎷

The album brings together Bill Frisell, Nate Smith and Burniss Travis with Rane Moore (clarinet), Zekkereya El-Magharbel (trombone) and Sara Caswell (violin) in a deliberately off-centre ensemble that places Potter’s tenor and soprano inside a textured, human-scale sound world.

Our Classical Recording of the Week is Behzod Abduraimov's Inferno, out now on Alpha Classics

"Abduraimov's command of articulation, subtle variation of dynamics and occasionally playful character are evidence that he thinks beyond the notes, and reflect the focus on musical growth and performance on which Tamara Popovich, his teacher from the age of five, built her reputation"
