"Yellow Jacket" was recorded and produced almost entirely in Boston, together with the full band and Craig Welsch at Rear Window Studios. The 11-song collection of music harkens back to the infectious blend of reggae, ska and roots rock that built the band’s heralded career and dedicated fanbase. “For us, this album is a way to acknowledge what our culture is facing and the effects of the abuse of power. In this album, you’ll find the effects war has on family in 'Johnny Whoops,' the complexity and brilliance of Emily Dickinson’s words in 'Trinket (ft. John Butler),' and we pay homage to the great activists of our time alongside Ani DiFranco on 'In the Street,' as a reminder of how crucial it is to not sit back idly. But mostly, our goal with this album is for listeners to enjoy the tunes in whatever way, hopefully at times collectively, and in community.” - Chadwick Stokes

A celebration of Sam Rivers music for his 100th birthday. Masters arranged 11 tracks from Rivers classic Blue Note sessions. Features Billy Harper. Sam Rivers 100 grew out of a series of performances in late 2023 to celebrate what would have been Rivers' 100th birthday on September 25. Masters was drawn to Rivers' earlier, mid-'60s work for Blue Note Records, in particular the saxophonist's classic 1964 debut, Fuchsia Swing Song. He arranged all six of the album's tracks for Sam Rivers 100, which comprise more than half of its 11 pieces. "I've been a fan of Sam Rivers for many years," Masters says. The idea for arranging his music was born almost 20 years ago, when Masters brought Rivers, then in his early 80s, and his trio to Claremont McKenna College as part of a series produced by the American Jazz Institute. "I was intrigued by how different Sam's approach to music was at different times of his career. I was attracted to his music and was determined to do something with it eventually.

Allow Cynthia Erivo to reintroduce herself. The multifaceted Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award-winner and 3x Academy Award-nominated actress, singer, author and producer bares her soul on her sophomore album, I Forgive You. Tenderly blending the sounds of pop, R&B, folk, Britpop, yodeling, wailing and gospel, Cynthia leaps headfirst into a bold new chapter of her artistry. Impassioned and warm, heartbreaking and vulnerable, I Forgive You is a soft testimony, a haunting plea to be witnessed with an open heart. With each track, Cynthia hopes "that people see the human in me. When you're in the public eye, people forget that you are human because they see you as an entity, but not actually flesh and bone, just like everybody else." The music, her story, is a braised reminder that we're all just flesh and bone. The good and the bad - and everything in between - make up the stories of our lives, and Cynthia Erivo is a sight to behold. "This is all just part of the human experience."
