On December 21, 1960, Fort Worth alto saxophonist

On December 21, 1960, Fort Worth alto saxophonist and composer Ornette Coleman assembled not one but two quartets for a studio date that produced one of the most pivotal records of the post-bebop era: "Free Jazz, A Collective Improvisation by the Ornette Coleman Double Quartet." An album-length free improvisation with only a few pre-conceived themes, Free Jazz harkened back to early New Orleans-style improvisation while signaling an emerging modernist avant-garde.

Denton folk-rock band Midlake is reaching back into its past.

The sextet — Eric Pulido, McKenzie Smith, Eric Nichelson, Jesse Chandler, Joey McClellan and Scott Lee — is readying a new 180-gram vinyl pressing of its 2006 sophomore album "The Trials of Van Occupanther" for release on January 17.

@midlakeband has also pulled the wraps off a music video for the album’s lead-off track, “Roscoe,” which was created by director Dan Fernbach 18 years ago.

For his latest project, Fort Worth-based singer-so

For his latest project, Fort Worth-based singer-songwriter @courthoang found inspiration in an unlikely place — the calendar.

Hoang understood the simple fact that the music business now is driven by an unrelenting amount of content dispensed at an equally merciless pace, but decided to beat the algorithm at its own game.

The entire project is called Triptychs, but it is being broken up into four distinct volumes, each one pegged to a season and featuring three songs. The first, "Autumn," is out now, and "Winter," the second installment, will arrive on December 22.

🎶 Listen to the breathtaking closing track “12:47 AM," from the upcoming album featuring the @mansfieldphilharmonic - link in bio.
