Joel Ross

!!! NEW ALBUM nublues out since February 9, 2024 on Blue Note Redords !!!

On Feb. 9, Joel Ross released his remarkable fourth Blue Note album nublues, and the acclaimed vibraphonist has shared the new single “bach (God the Father in Eternity),” a stunning piece that injects the sound of the church and the rhythm of Black American music into a melodic fragment by J.S. Bach. nublues is a collection of ballads and blues as seen through the lens of one of the most creative modern jazz groups of our time featuring Immanuel Wilkins on alto saxophone, Jeremy Corren on piano, Kano Mendenhall on bass, and Jeremy Dutton on drums, as well as special guest Gabrielle Garo on flute. The band moves seamlessly across the blues-imbued musical terrain of this 10-track set which includes 7 new Ross originals as well as pieces by John Coltrane (“equinox” and “central park west”) and Thelonious Monk (“evidence”).
