At the age of 36, Cory Weeds is hardly the wunderkind he once was. Afterall, by the time Mozart was his age, he’d already been dead for a year. Still, his many deeds are, indeed, impressive. I don’t need to itemize them here for you, because they’re well-documented. But the fact he bought a jazz club in Vancouver and turned it into one of the world’s best (according to Downbeat magazine, no less), churns out jazz albums on his own label featuring some of the best local, national and international players, hosts a weekly radio show, and still manages to grow as a musician makes me feel like a lazy sod. I mean, I am but I don’t need to be reminded of it so forcefully. And as you can see on the cover, he’s even been able to start a family. The guy is a doer, no question about it.
This album drives that point home. Getting American Hammond B3 virtuoso Joey DeFrancesco as his sideman is telling. This marks the third recording as leader in as many years for Weeds. And if it seems he has a special fondness for organists, having played with Dr. Lonnie Smith and then Mike LeDonne in his first two albums, you’re on to something.

Inhabitants continue to push forward into new sonic territory with “A Vacant Lot“, their third full-length on Drip Audio. Spacious and expressive, the new album explores the dynamic relationship between chaos and form through experimental sound, intuitive group interplay and instrumental composition. There is new diversity in the music; rich textured landscapes augmented by electronics and feedback are contrasted with moments of intimate acoustic minimalism. A reflective mood pervades the new landscape Inhabitants occupy on A Vacant Lot, their improvisations and compositions permeated with an uncommon, yet alluring lyricism.
