Joni Mitchell releases Joni’s Jazz, a passion project years in the making. This career-spanning collection features recordings chosen by Mitchell that reflect jazz’s profound influence on her music.
The release is available now as an 8LP vinyl box set, a 4CD edition, and across all digital and streaming platforms. Both the vinyl and CD versions include liner notes with rare and previously unseen photos and original artwork by Mitchell. Order HERE.
An exclusiveJoni Mitchell Archives fine-art print is available as a gift-with-purchase exclusive from jonimitchell.com.
Spanning 61 tracks, Joni’s Jazz includes studio recordings, live performances, rare alternate takes and previously unreleased demos, and material drawn from multiple decades and record labels. Listen to today’s release day focus track, “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (Live at the Santa Barbara County Bowl, September 9, 1979)” HERE.
The set features contributions from some of Mitchell’s most important collaborators in jazz, among them Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Hancock, and Charles Mingus. Mitchell, who calls Shorter her favorite collaborator, dedicates the collection to him following his passing in 2023. “It was a joy to play with him,” she writes. “He will be missed, but he will remain alive for me in this music.”
Covering nearly every era of her recording career, the collection includes selections from Songs To A Seagull,TheHissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira, Mingus, Turbulent Indigo, Both Sides Now(a 2001 GRAMMY Award winner), and more. It also features her guest appearances on projects like Hancock’s GRAMMY Award-winning album, River: The Joni Letters.
Across the collection, the music follows Mitchell’s artistic growth — from the rhythmic layering of “Harry’s House / Centerpiece” to the bold experimentation of “The Jungle Line,” the narrative scale of “Paprika Plains,” and the airy, improvised feel of “A Chair In The Sky.”
It draws from more than five decades of Mitchell’s recordings, going back to 1968 for “Marcie,” from Song To A Seagull. The most recent is her performance of “Summertime,” recorded live at the 2023 Newport Folk Festival. It marked Mitchell’s first full-length concert in over two decades — a powerful return that resonated around the world.
As a self-portrait in sound, Joni’s Jazz captures an artist in conversation with jazz over a lifetime — never imitating, always inventing. Last year, in the liner notes for Joni Mitchell Archives – Vol. 4, she joked, “People ask me my favorite of my albums, it’s going to be Joni’s Jazz.” Now it is.

The track was recorded on Saturday, August 16th, during the first of two sold-out nights at Dublin’s Croke Park. Oasis performed to over 160,000 fans in Ireland, with the shows marking the band’s first performances in Ireland since 2009.
Oasis has completed 22 dates of their 41-date Oasis Live ‘25 Tour.
The release of “Wonderwall (Live from Dublin, 16 August ‘25)” comes during the North American leg of the band’s sold-out world tour. They’ve so far completed five sold-out shows across Toronto, Chicago, and East Rutherford, and have two nights coming up at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles this Saturday and Sunday. The tour continues with two nights in Mexico City before returning for their sixth and seventh nights at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium.
Beyond the Live ‘25 tour, Oasis fever continues to take over the UK charts. Ahead of the Dublin shows, Oasis reclaimed their No. 1 spot in the Official UK Album Charts as singles compilation album Time Flies… 1994-2009 shot to the top of the chart for the third week in 2025. In the same week, their classic album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, charted at No. 3, while their essential 1994 debut Definitely Maybe rounded out the triple at No. 7. (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? has now been certified 18-times platinum by the BPI in recognition of more than 5.4 million domestic sales.

MICO is back with the release of his new song “Ever After” featuring eaJ today. Known for pairing confessional songwriting with sharp, genre-blending melodies, the Filipino-Canadian artist continues to carve out his own lane in alt-pop punk.
Written during the sessions for his 2024 EP Internet hometown hero, “Ever After” didn’t fit the story or sonic space of that project but was too undeniable to leave behind. “It’s one of the catchiest songs I think I’ve ever written,” says MICO. “We finished all the lyrics in about 40 minutes, and I’m excited to finally have it out in the world after so long.”
The track finds MICO leaning into playful analogies, comparing a broken relationship to the plot of a bad rom-com – a nod to his own failed relationships and his love of “hate-watching” corny movies while in them. “It’s kind of an anti-love anthem about accepting that things should’ve ended a while ago, and breaking the news to someone that’s refusing to accept it,” he explains.
“Ever After” follows the release of his deluxe album Internet hometown hero (+DLC) in May and comes ahead of MICO’s massive Internet hometown hero World Tour this fall, spanning 50+ shows (more than half of which are already SOLD OUT) across North America, Europe, and the UK.
With the band recently celebrating the Gold and soon to be Platinum certification for their single “Push It,” metal icons Static-X are releasing a 25th anniversary edition of their legendary debut Wisconsin Death Trip. Released in 1999, the album introduced the world to the iconic lineup of Wayne Static, Koichi Fukuda, Tony Campos and Ken Jay.

Years after its release, the album still find new audiences with Metal Hammer declaring the album one of the “Top 20 best metal albums of 1999” in 2021.
The anniversary edition – Wisconsin Death Trip (25th Anniversary Corrosive Edition) – is the ultimate death trip, containing 2 handmade, orange and black eclipse vinyl with remastered versions of the original album audio, presented in a comprehensive box set, filled with bonus tracks and never seen artwork available worldwide on December 12. The band reunited with the original producer Ulrich Wild as well as original photographer Exum to deliver a whole new experience for the album. The album has been remastered by Wild, and a second disc of demos, alternate versions and rare tracks are included making the album total runtime over an hour and eleven minutes. Exum unearthed hundreds of never-before-seen photos from the shoot and the band have used them to completely redesign the packaging.
sombr has debuted at the top of Spotify’s Global Debut Albums chart with his highly anticipated album I Barely Know Her, released via Warner Records on August 22.

In fact, for the photoshoot for #GU48 Guy J – Córdoba, he stopped traffic as so many people recognised him and came for selfies and autographs. No wonder Córdoba is such a special city for Guy J.

Sometimes, an unexpected detour leads you right where you belong. For legendary vocalist and guitarist Boz Scaggs, that journey has resulted in Detour, a captivating and deeply personal exploration of the Great American Songbook, and his first new studio album in seven years. Set for release on October 17th via Concord Records, Detour finds the Grammy-winner interpreting timeless standards with tender insight and profound emotional sophistication. Today, Scaggs shares the album’s first single: a beautiful, newly arranged version of “I’ll Be Long Gone,” a fan-favorite track from his seminal 1969 self-titled debut.
The new album began not with a grand plan, but with the simple joy of making music. “I had no intention of making a record when I started singing these songs,” Scaggs confesses. “It was all very casual at first, just an opportunity to explore a style of music I’ve always liked, to get together with a friend and play for the sheer joy of it.”
That friend is pianist Seth Asarnow, and their informal sessions together became the heart of Detour. What started as a series of personal demos for Scaggs to expand his vocal stylings soon revealed something magical. The performances and arrangements were undeniable, demanding to be shared with the world. The result is a masterclass in interpretation, an eclectic mix of the familiar and the obscure that tips its hat to Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald as gracefully as it does to Irma Thomas and Lonnie Johnson. It is an elegant reimagining of old favorites and new discoveries, delivered with both reverence and a fresh perspective.
On Detour, Scaggs puts his essential instrument on full display. “If I look at myself as a musician over the years, I’d have to consider my primary instrument to be my voice,” he says. That voice has only gained nuance and depth, evident from the gentle tone of the album opener, Allen Toussaint’s “It’s Raining,” to a serene version of “The Very Thought Of You” that feels both timeless and contemporary. The project even led him to revisit “I’ll Be Long Gone” at the suggestion of pianist Seth Asarnow. “I get a lot of requests for it,” Scaggs explains, “he put together this beautiful arrangement… it ended up falling in perfectly with everything else we did for this album.”
It’s a fitting inclusion for a project born from an unexpected turn. On Detour, Boz Scaggs proves that the most rewarding journeys are often the ones we never planned to take.
