McCoy Tyner and Bobby Hutcherson played together exactly twice. We just found the second tape. RSD 2026 Preview Edition — Record Store Day falls on Saturday April 18. This issue spotlights four major archival jazz discoveries alongside Friday's new releases.

Sean Shibe — Vesper

Three composers who don't play the guitar — Thomas Adès, the late Harrison Birtwistle, James Dillon — wrote pieces for it, and the Scottish guitarist Sean Shibe recorded them on an instrument hand-painted by Lydia Corbett, the woman Picasso painted more than sixty times when she was still called Sylvette David. The instrument is beautiful, but that's not the point; the point is that outsiders tend to ask more of an instrument than insiders do, and these pieces treat the guitar as something it hasn't quite decided to be. Adès's title work, a set of "Forgotten Dances," moves with the quiet gravity of evensong. Birtwistle's contribution, one of his last chamber works, is thornier but no less absorbing. Thomas Adès、Harrison Birtwistle、James Dillon——三個不彈吉他的作曲家為吉他寫的作品。

McCoy Tyner — The Seeker

1993 年 7 月 17 日，意大利 Umbria Jazz Festival。McCoy Tyner 彈鋼琴，Bobby Hutcherson 打顫音琴。

Bill Evans — At the BBC: The Complete 1965 London Sets

On March 19, 1965, the Bill Evans Trio walked into the BBC Television Theatre in Shepherd's Bush and taped an episode of Jazz 625. Evans was midway through a four-week stand at Ronnie Scott's with Chuck Israels on bass and Larry Bunker on drums — the trio that followed the shattering loss of Scott LaFaro and found, in its place, a different kind of conversation: steadier, more spacious, no less intimate. The recordings have circulated as bootlegs for years, in varying states of degradation. This is the first official release, transferred from the original BBC tape reels and restored by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab. Marc Myers provides the liner notes. Three thousand five hundred copies, which sounds generous until Saturday morning. 1965 年 3 月 19 日，BBC Television Theatre，Jazz 625 節目。Evans 帶著 Chuck Israels 和 Larry Bunker，正在 Ronnie Scott's 做四周駐演。

Yusef Lateef — Alight Upon The Lake: Live At The Jazz Showcase

The latest excavation from Zev Feldman's ongoing survey of Joe Segal's Jazz Showcase tapes is a 1975 set featuring Yusef Lateef on tenor, flute, and oboe — three instruments, three entirely different relationships with a melody — accompanied by Kenny Barron's piano, Bob Cunningham's bass, and Albert "Tootie" Heath's drums. Three LPs means this is the full performance, not a highlight reel, which matters with Lateef: his sets built slowly, moved through modes and geographies, and rewarded patience. Barron, who could accompany almost anyone without losing himself, is the ideal foil here. Resonance's restoration work remains the gold standard. 1975 年芝加哥 Jazz Showcase。Lateef 帶著次中音薩克斯、長笛和雙簧管三件武器，搭檔是 Kenny Barron 的鋼琴。Bob Cunningham 貝斯，Albert "Tootie" Heath 鼓。

Joni Mitchell — Archives, Vol. 5

Label廠牌

1980–1991

Teen Suicide — Nude descending staircase headless

Teen Suicide have been recording for over a decade — tapes, Bandcamp drops, ephemeral releases that accumulated a devoted following without ever quite resolving into a career. This is their first proper studio album, recorded by Mike Sapone at Barbershop Studios in New Jersey, and the title nods to Duchamp with the same ambivalence the band has always brought to the idea of making something permanent. Nine tracks move between shoegaze walls, noise-pop edges, and occasional passages of sludgy weight, none of them settling long enough to be categorized. The cover art, by longtime collaborator Adam Pichardo, continues the band's tradition of artwork that looks like it was found rather than made. 存在了十幾年，發過無數張自制 tape 和 Bandcamp 專輯，但這是 Teen Suicide 第一張"正式"的錄音室專輯。Mike Sapone 在新澤西 Barbershop Studios 錄製。

Bhajan Bhoy — Meditations

Ajay Saggar's solo project offers four extended pieces performed on a combination of instruments that resists easy categorization: accordion, piano, yangqin, synthesizers, guitar, bass, banjo, and harp. The yangqin — a Chinese hammered dulcimer — is the unexpected center of gravity, its bright, decaying tones threading through the more familiar timbres like silver wire through wool. Saggar describes the recordings as spiritual prayers made during a period of personal upheaval, and the music has that quality: not serene exactly, but intent, the way someone looks when they're concentrating on something only they can see. Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube, two labels with impeccable taste in the quietly strange, share the release. Ajay Saggar 的獨奏項目。四首長篇曲目，用手風琴、鋼琴、揚琴（yangqin）、合成器、吉他、班卓琴和豎琴錄製。

Roy Hargrove — Bern

Roy Hargrove died in November 2018, at forty-nine, of cardiac arrest — too young by any measure, impossibly young for a trumpet player who still sounded like he was just getting started. Bern captures him in May 2000, at the International Jazz Festival in Switzerland, fronting a quintet with Sherman Irby on alto, Larry Willis on piano, Gerald Cannon on bass, and Willie Jones III on drums. The set is five tracks long and an hour deep, the kind of performance where the band locks in early and stays there. Nate Chinen's liner notes provide context; the music provides everything else. LP exclusive for Record Store Day; CD and digital follow on April 24. 2000 年 5 月，Bern International Jazz Festival。Hargrove 帶著五重奏——Sherman Irby 中音薩克斯、Larry Willis 鋼琴、Gerald Cannon 貝斯、Willie Jones III 鼓——交出了一場猛烈的演出。
