Steve Swallow - 'Winter Songs' (2026)

Subtle soothing soft jazz melodies and improvisations, performed by #SteveSwallow sextet (dr-b-p-gtr-sax-tr). Overall a warming atmosphere that makes this album ideal for Sunday or late night listening. Or winter. Just lovely.

#GaryBurton, #PatMetheny & #SteveSwallow reunited in 2005, performing classic and new tunes together with #AntonioSanchez. The guitar-vibes combination remains special.

The photo shows the cover of the album "Ezz-thetics" by the George Russell Sextet. The cover features a geometric black and white abstract design with various shapes like cylinders, cones, and spheres, against a dark background. There is a small inset photograph of a man, likely George Russell, on the left side of the cover. The words "STEREO Riverside" are printed at the top, indicating the record label and format.
