They played Saturday in Columbia, Mo. Stunningly great. I joked to a friend that by the end of the last song, it was like they had successfully proved a particularly difficult theorem.

Sovereign Glory, Sunday morning. Hour One: UK Jazz. Hour Two: Chicago Jazz. Playlist:
A graphic poster styled like a vintage automotive diagnostic advertisement. At center, a gold 1970s-era sedan sits on a service bay floor between two large red diagnostic machines while a technician in a blue shop coat stands at right holding a clipboard. Above the car, a large blue-and-red block logo reads “Sovereign Glory Diagnostic Service,” with “June 21” and “5–7 AM” below. Vertical text along the support columns references CRSTL.FM and a list of genres including electronic, experimental, ambient, jazz, rock, roots and funk. Across the lower middle, white text identifies “Disc Jockey Randall Roberts.” The bottom section resembles highway signage, promoting a two-hour program: “Recent Jazz London” on the left, “Recent Jazz Chicago” on the right and “Sunday CRSTL.FM Mixcloud VS.” in the center. The palette combines muted greens and grays with bright red, blue and yellow accents, creating a retro-modern broadcast designA dark, neon-outline version of the same promotional graphic. The automobile service center scene has been transformed into glowing edge-detected lines against a black background, with the gold car, diagnostic equipment and technician rendered in luminous outlines. The “Sovereign Glory Diagnostic Service” title remains prominent at top, while turquoise text across the center lists the program playlist. The first hour focuses on contemporary London jazz and adjacent artists, including Tara Clerkin Trio, DARGZ, Nubya Garcia, Ezra Collective, The Comet Is Coming, Tom Skinner, Yussef Dayes, Theon Cross, Alfa Mist, Yaz Ahmed, Nala Sinephro, Greg Foat and Tempelhof & Gigi Masin. The second hour highlights Chicago artists such as Bitchin Bajas, Natural Information Society, Chicago Underground Quartet, Chicago Odense Ensemble, Sam Prekop, Ben LaMar Gay, Anteloper, Angel Bat Dawid, Tortoise, Makaya McCraven, Daniel Villarreal and Isotope 217. Along the bottom, “Disc Jockey Randall Roberts” appears above signage reading “Recent Jazz London” and “Recent Jazz Chicago,” framing the London-versus-Chicago theme of the broadcast.

A white pickup truck is parked beside a large white church with brown trim on an overcast day. Hitched to the truck is a vintage travel trailer adapted into a solar-powered recording studio. It still looks vintage, painted white with a pale turquoise lower section. A small cemetery with weathered white gravestones sits to the left of the church. The church features a steep gabled roof, tall narrow windows and a modest bell tower. The gravel lot, gray sky and sparse surroundings give the scene a quiet, remote feel, suggesting a rural coastal community.The bright interior of a historic Newfoundland church viewed from the rear of the sanctuary. White-painted pews line a central aisle leading toward a wood-paneled altar framed by stained glass. Pale blue-gray timber trusses rise overhead in a dramatic vaulted ceiling, while a large hanging chandelier illuminates the airy space. The church's simple maritime architecture and abundant natural light create a sense of openness and calm.
Two musicians, Michael Cloud Duguay and Jake Nichol, record inside an ornate Newfoundland church sanctuary. Duguay sits barefoot on a chair while Nichol stands holding a saxophone, both wearing headphones amid microphones, speakers and recording equipment. Behind them, a richly detailed altar, religious statues and a large crucifix are set against dark wood paneling and white arches. The scene captures a contemporary recording session unfolding within a historic sacred space.

Watch: Herbie Hancock, Wah Wah Watson and Bennie Maupin let loose on Danish TV in 1976 | In Sheeps Clothing
By the mid-1970s, Herbie Hancock had left bop and post-bop behind as he grew increasingly fascinated with electric keyboards and early synthesizers. Long a genre-straddling innovator, Hancock embraced instrumental funk and rhythm-powered experimental avenues on his 1975 album Man-Child and, a year later, Secrets. With a secure, fruitful relationship with Columbia Records, Hancock set about changing the sound and vibe of jazz. He’d also built a stellar band: ...
