The new reissue of a landmark album of 1970s funk restores the Los Angeles group’s reputation as multi-cultural pop savants and unstoppable improvisers.

The Brazilian guitarist and L.A. saxophonist’s collaboration is charming and intimate. The pair coils themselves around these songs, prioritizing rhythmic complexity and sheer prettiness over far-out exploration.

The Philadelphia rock band meets the moment with an essential, wide-ranging record that’s mouthy, messy, and self-assured.

The guitar icon’s first solo album in 19 years confronts heartbreak and loss with intensely melodic, disarmingly straightforward songs that feel as loose and casual as old friends.

The Brazilian pianist brings his dazzling polyrhythms—plus guests like Jeff Parker and Brandee Younger—to an album that fuses jazz, avant-garde composition, and indigenous Amazonian influences.

The Cleveland band puts thrills front and center on its second album, slotting monster riffs into gruesomely switchbacking arrangements.
