It's not out until next year but I'm sure the collectors and wider Tubby Hayes community can wait as patiently as possible for the Little Giant's legendary drummer (and jobbing priest) Spike Wells in the newly formed QOW Trio where Wells combines with bassist Eddie Myer and saxophonist Riley Stone Lonergan. The album was recorded in an afternoon, ''not a booth, partition or headphone in sight – the real Rudy Van Gelder deal!'' quips Wells. To be released on the Ubuntu label, continuing their sustained signing spree of late. Photo: Lisa Wormsley

Fascinating experimentalism on show here from violinist-singer Johanna Burnheart on Burnheart that Ropeadope are releasing next month. A regular member of Rosie Turton’s band, Johanna formed her own Burnheart band at the end of 2018 and their debut here was recorded in London last year. Personnel include on wurlitzer/synthesizer David Swan, on double bass Jonny Wickham and playing drums Boz Martin-Jones. Promises to be one of the most compelling releases from a new artist this autumn.
