    Planet D Nonet presents music centered on Echoes of Harlem: A Salute to Duke Ellington Vol 2, a new release that extends the group’s longtime devotion to Ellington. The project grew naturally while touring after the prior album, Blues to Be There: A Salute to Duke Ellington, which reached number 16 on the JazzWeek chart, held the top spot on both the Roots Music Report Jazz and Big Band Jazz charts for twenty-three consecutive weeks, spent fifteen weeks on the NACC Top 30 peaking at number 1, and earned placements on several 2023 year-end lists from national critics and radio outlets.

    See details

    The Magic Bag hosts Deerhoof on the Sun Like It Hot 2026 tour, with Gerber & The Babies and Credit Card sharing the stage. This is an all ages, standing room only show. For over thirty years, Deerhoof has been known for bold, boundary pushing ideas, having formed in San Francisco in 1994. The lineup features Satomi Matsuzaki on vocals and bass, Greg Saunier on drums, and guitarists John Dieterich and Ed Rodriguez. Their sets leap from quiet melodies to sudden rhythmic bursts, catchy turns and joyful chaos, a live approach that has earned widespread praise. With more than twenty studio releases, including the recent Noble and Godlike in Ruin, they continue to evolve rather than repeat themselves. Gerber & The Babies bring a playful strain of Midwest egg punk that pulls influence from Black Flag to The Residents. Their songs take on topics like predatory behavior, mental health, and a deep fondness for dogs, driven by piercing synth arpeggios and heavy, fuzz soaked guitar. Credit Card, a Detroit outfit that started in 2025 with members tied to other notable local bands, fuses the city’s punk and techno lineage. Expect strobe lit intensity, mosh friendly energy, and sub powered beats that lean into hard EBM. Their first 7 inch, titled (CC) as a nod to the Germs classic, sold out at its Detroit release show, and they are preparing a 2026 debut full length they sometimes call a mixtape. Strong responses at Smalls, Paris Bar, and underground warehouse parties have built momentum for what comes next.

Celebrated as the first all-woman jazz group to sign with a major label through Atlantic Records, they unite expressive vocals with inventive instrumental work. The lineup features pianist Alina Morr, bassist Marion Hayden, drummer Gayelynn McKinney, trumpeter Ingrid Racine, and vocalist Kymberli Wright, each bringing a composer’s ear and a distinctive voice to the stage. Their sound moves easily from straight-ahead jazz into Latin rhythms and hip hop influences, creating a set filled with shifting textures, moods, and tempos. Over the years they have shared stages with Nancy Wilson, Tony Bennett, George Duke, Ray Charles, the Yellowjackets, Dianne Reeves, and Stanley Clark. Their five-album catalog includes early Atlantic Jazz releases that reached the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Top 20, followed by Dance of the Forest Rain, produced by Bob Belden and featuring guests Kenny Garrett, Brazilian percussionist Guillerme Franco, and guitarist Fareed Haque. City Cuts offers reimagined takes on Stevie Wonder’s You Got It Bad and the Stylistics’ People Make the World Go Round, while the latest release, Still Swinging, blends original material with works by Jimmy Heath and the late Roy Brooks. Extensive touring across the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe has earned the group widespread acclaim for performances that radiate power, joy, and soulful sophistication.
