In a genre where many solo piano albums arrive with a clearly defined concept or carefully framed intention, David Wohl’s Feels Like Happiness takes a quieter, more revealing path. Rather than announcing itself, the album unfolds naturally, inviting the listener into its world without pretense. The effect is subtle but profound: a body of work that feels less constructed than lived, less presented than shared. From the opening moments, there is no sense of striving, no need t

Over the past several years, with her releases Breath of Gratitude and Breathe III, Juliet Lyons has created a deeply personal body of work rooted in breath, healing and inner renewal—music shaped not only by her keen artistic instincts but by lived experience. With One Minute Mantras I: Awakening, she introduces a new creative identity, Apstara, and with it, a subtle but meaningful shift in focus.

Often associated with the Pacific Northwest but never confined to a single geographic identity, Marley’s Ghost has, over four decades, carved out a singular place in the American roots music landscape through its seamless blend of folk, country, bluegrass, gospel and beyond. Rather than being rooted in a single city, the band reflects the wide-open spirit of the American West itself—a collective shaped by decades of life and music-making across Washington, California, Montana

Kristen Mather de Andrade’s Sem Fim is an intricately textured and deeply personal statement that bridges her classical training, jazz sensibilities, and profound lifelong connection to Brazilian music. From the charming, lyrical and uber-whimsical horn splashed delight “Atraente” through the sensually elegant vocal-graced “So o Tempo,” the New York-based clarinetist, vocalist and producer brings all facets of her artistry into focus on this lush, orchestral project, creati
