Checking this out after seeing Wyatt Flores on last Thursday's Late Show with Stephen Colbert:
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 in Apple Music.
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."

The first two Ambrosia albums are still showing up on Apple Music, in stereo, for me. And the two tracks previously reported as being in Atmos, How Much I Feel and Ready For Camarillo, are stereo only for me. I'm in the U.S.

Check for another version, looks like Apple has two. I’m still showing Atmos for both songs.
Yeah, you want an expensive piece of audio equipment to get a good review, send a freebie to Fremer. (i kid)

I ended up raising the rears - again, like on the other albums - to get a really nice surround experience. However, I only needed to do it on some tracks this time around. For instance, Not her Style, Extremes, Fire all benefit from boosting the rears.
Overall, I think this is a very good surround mix!
I posted about this yesterday in the Classical Atmos Streaming thread, but I don't know how many strangers regularly check in there, so I'm cross-posting, mainly because folks here periodically ask about classical titles with "discrete" (or at least more than just ambience-in-the-rears-and-overheads) mixes.
I managed to miss this one when it appeared earlier this year: the Gothenburg Symphony performing works by young, mainly Nordic composers, including a couple who typically show up on labels like 2L and Sono Luminus, namely: Maya S.K. Ratkje and Daniel Bjarnason--but also the Tokyo-born Danish transplant Miho Hazama, who leads (and writes for) her own forward-thinking jazz orchestra, m_unit, in addition to directing the Danish Radio Big Band. This is a fabulous album with a very active mix by Lars Nilsson--maybe just a half-tick below the level of the work of a Morten Lindberg or a Daniel Shores.

I also somehow missed the fact that this album is available to download in high-res MKV at IAA!

All of Nilsson's mixes that I've heard, both jazz and classical, are remarkable, actually--and quite a few of them are streaming:
