In this week’s installment of our sonic journey around the jazz world, we begin with the North Africa-North America express, driven by Trinidadian trumpet maestro Etienne Charles, and end with Brad Mehldau’s reimagining of the music of Elliott Smith.

The playlist features Etienne Charles, Samir Langus; Sharon Mansur [pictured]; Patricia Brennan; Tony Malaby, Jozef Dumulin, Samuel Ber; Amina Claudine Myers; and Brad Mehldau.
