JAZZIZ Editors’ Choice: Lizz Wright, José James, Nick Finzer & More

This week’s playlist begins with “Pluto Language” from Keep Swingin’, a 10-track collection by Garry Dial and Rich DeRosa that pays tribute to the great jazz educator Charlie Benacos and his music. Saxophonist Ada Rovatti offers six improvisationally rich instrumentals on her seventh album as a bandleader, The Hidden World of Piloo, including a funk-spiced, dobro-driven rendition of “Pluto Language.” “Respira y Siente” is an energetic salsa from La Visa Misma, the upcoming album by Cuban-American percussionist and vocalist Ivan Llanes, which will be released on March 22.
