One of my favourite what if Miles stayed in a certain period albums is 'The Anti-Social Club' by Alan Pasqua.
It is In a Silent Way meets more bite. It has Cline, Amendola, Acuna, Haislip, Akinmusire and Jeff Elwood on saxophone. (What a lineup! Rich Breen mix is beautiful as well)
@MarkedByVander@jazz Good call. How about this one: “London Brew” is a group of 12 London based artists: Benji B, Raven Bush, Theon Cross, Nubya Garcia, Tom Herbert, Shabaka Hutchings, Nikolaj Torp Larsen, Dave Okumu, Nick Ramm, Dan See, Tom Skinner and Martin Terefe. The group came together for a three-day recording session at The Church Studios in London in December 2020 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Bitches Brew.

This is a videoclip of my latest work, "Bodegón" (Spanish for still-life)
The video is a "visit" into a Bodegón in Colonia del Sacramento, Departamento de Colonia, Uruguay, with thanks to the author of the nice photo, Elisa Giaccaglia (https://www.pexels.com/photo/bodegon-18297346/)
"Bodegón" is a piece for two pianos, marimba, double bass, and drums. I initially wrote the drums part, which alternates 11/8 and 9/8 measures at 150bpm. Then I wrote a marimba part atop the drums. This resulted in a rather fast jazzy piece. At this point I realized that the piece had two "natures": when slowed down, the marimba notes sounded very much "Bachianas". I decided to explore and develop this aspect further: I assigned the marimba line to piano, added a new piano, and turned the piece into a neoclassical prelude. Then I added double bass, and used it as a layer that I overlapped to realize a fugato of sorts. Surprisingly, the experiment worked out.
I had now two very different developments of a same idea. I decided to merge them in a A-B-A' structure, with the last part only hinted and fading out, played by double bass and drums.
All the above resulted in my "Bodegón". I hope you'll like it!
(P.S. In Spanish it means "still-life". It comes from "Bodega": storeroom, storehouse, wine-shop, or even tavern.)
