Not an outstanding mix, but a worthy listen just the same: Nubya Garcia's Odyssey. Ambitious saxophonist/bandleader/composer who's part of the newer/younger London jazz scene. Spiritual jazz fans, take note. Like her last album from 2020 (no Atmos mix), this one features track-by-track liner notes.
Had to check it out after seeing jazz critic Nate Chinen's enthusiastic recommendation; he calls it "a notable event" and singles it out as his top pick among the fall jazz releases. Garcia is also a guest on the recent episode of Chinen & Greg Bryant's WRTI podcast The Late Set, where they expound on several additional picks. She's there to talk about Odyssey and its inspirations:

"The conversation was full of spirited insight," Chinen says on his Substack, "and I’d recommend it even to those who haven’t yet found their way onto Nubya’s groove train. As the episode makes clear, this album is a big swing."
