Among the eagerly-awaited new releases is

Sean Lennon

guitar
b.1975

" data-original-title="" title="">Sean Lennon's Asterisms (Tzadik Records, 2024). When I first saw the project at The Stone in early October 2022 I was immediately struck by the enormous potential of the band and their music.

Asterisms hovers over many genres and defies them all as its own thing, in a post-Bitches Brew kind of way. Plus, the band is an all-star avant-minded assemblage featuring

Yuka C. Honda

keyboards
b.1960

" data-original-title="" title="">Yuka C. Honda (electronics),

Michael Leonhart

trumpet
b.1974

" data-original-title="" title="">Michael Leonhart (trumpet),

João Luis Nogueira

guitar, acoustic

" data-original-title="" title="">Jo?o Luis Nogueira (Wurlitzer),

Devin Hoff

bass, acoustic

Ches Smith

Mauro Refosco

percussion
