Now that I'm looking at the Earshot jazz charts for Canadian campus and community radio, I want to keep looking back.

Here are all the Canadian jazz albums that entered (or re-entered) the charts this week, with either something interesting about them or a sort of micro-review (one sentence only) / link to my existing coverage.

First, micro-reviews on 5 albums

727/16 by High Alpine Hut Network

Bandcamp | no Spotify | Label: Ansible Editions

70s-style jazz/rock fusion with some modern electronics and a superlative Fender Precision Bass tone.

What better venue for the pouring rain?

Nebyu Yohannes, as Nebyoha, played an eclectic set at Roedde House Museum’s Jazz in the Parlour

John Korsrud: Composition, Trumpet, Hard Rubber Orchestra

John talks his formative years learning from Hugh Fraser, his 7 times at Burning Man, and more

Laura Anglade: Vocals, Skills, Interpretation of Standards

Laura has moved to New York City as her star rises in vocal jazz; she plays Frankie's Sep. 28

Everyone I tell about this album digs it

Last week, I had an easy hook to get people interested in Benjamin Sigerson’s Frankie's show
