Drop the needle on Jenny Scheinman ’s latest album, All Species Parade, and a verdant landscape of greens, browns and ocean blues unfolds. This is music that feels alive, vibrating with the hum of a vast, interconnected ecosystem. It’s so evocative of California’s Lost Coast that when she plays this music at The Treelawn Sunday, you might just smell the petrichor and taste the salt air of the Pacific.

Johnny Hodges is widely acknowledged as perhaps the preeminent alto saxophone player in the decades before Charlie Parker’s emergence. Yet unlike Parker, whose influence on saxophonists is apparent 68 years after his death, Hodges’ style is almost universally celebrated in print and online yet never heard on the bandstand.
Until now. Saxophonist Owen Broder is putting Hodges where he rightfully belongs: front and center with an ambitious recording project and a new band that swoops into BLU Jazz+ on Friday.
