Polyhymnia is one of the year's most versatile and dynamic jazz albums.

Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah - "AvengHer"

Unbeknownst to me, trumpeter/producer Christian Scott has been having quite a prolific 2017, set to finish out a trilogy of albums with next month's The Emancipation Procrastination. I was lukewarm on the new-agey Diaspora, but am digging the fusion of vintage jazz and modern hip hop production on this latest single. The Emancipation Procrastination drops October 20 via Ropeadope.

Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah - Stretch Music

Christian Scott and guest flutist Elena Pinderhughes come through with one of this year's most diverse and vivid jazz albums.
