It's been a pretty long wait but finally the word is out-- Darcy James Argue's Secret Society's sophomore album, Brooklyn Babylon, based on the multimedia performance the group put on with visual artist Danijel Zezelj, is slated to start recording this June and is set to release April 2013 on New Amsterdam Records.

We've seen this pattern before. Vijay Iyer puts out a spectacular trio album and then other live tracks start to float around in its wake, not quite making the cut of the album but considered unofficial bonus tracks. This time around, "Hood", a tribute to house music producer Robert Hood, was recorded in London on May 1 of this year for a session on BBC Radio 3 airing June 11th, and we've got the SoundCloud stream from BBC Radio right here.

[Listen to Linda Oh in the Nextplayer]
Malaysian born bass player and composer Linda Oh's second release as a leader is coming out very soon, on the 22nd of May, on Greenleaf Music. The quartet is composed of acclaimed sidemen, including Dayna Stephens on saxophone, extremely versatile drummer Rudy Royston and Fabian Almazan on keys. The group works audibly harmoniously well, in terms of dynamics and feel. Vocalist Jen Shyu contributes a deeply melodic lead to the fifth track, "Thicker than Water".
Jason Moran Documentary Coming 'Round the Bend

2010 MacArthur "Genius" grant recipient Jason Moran has been doing really interesting things in music and art for years, he's just getting more attention for it lately. Now a pair of filmmakers, Gregg Conde and Radiclani Clytus, have been capturing much of the work Moran has been endeavoring for a documentary about Moran's bridging the gap between the jazz of times past and the popular music of the present. The documentary, Grammar, is still in relatively early stages but judging from the look of this excerpt, it would look like Moran isn't spiraling out of control in some fantastical Synecdoche, New York-type fashion. This thing looks pretty great, certainly worthy of support that the pair's Kickstarter campaign is asking for. If you want to see more of than and you're able to give, you probably should.

It's been a bit of an exhausting week at Nextbop but hopefully things should get to some level of normalcy soon. Because of that, this week has me revisiting some stuff from the past and combing through the library a bit. However, I hope to have a lot more new music next week. Promise.
