Lucy Yeghiazaryan’s brassy “Blow Top Blues,” Billie Holiday’s bruised “Stormy Blues” and the loose-limbed exuberance of the Hot Sardines set this week’s *A Love Supreme* in motion. Anaïs Reno and Louis Armstrong offer contrasting takes on “I’m Just a Lucky So-and-So,” while Miles Davis and John Coltrane meet in the after-hours shadows of “‘Round Midnight.”
With Halloween approaching, the music takes a stranger turn. Bill Evans conjures “Witchcraft,” Anat Cohen summons “Nightmare,” and Cassandra Wilson follows the haunted footsteps of “Hellhound on My Trail.” Joni Mitchell’s “The Wolf That Lives in Lindsey” and Paul Winter’s “Wolf Eyes” bring their own wilderness into the room.
Along the way: Gretchen Parlato and Robert Glasper’s intimate “If It’s Magic,” Amaro Freitas’s restless “Encantados,” and autumn-colored turns from Chet Baker and Makaya McCraven. Three hours of blues, beauty and unruly spirits.
