A native of Hartford, Connecticut, saxophonist Alden Hellmuth made her Jazz Gallery leader debut in 2023, performing shows with pianist Lex Korten, and her quintet Good Intentions. Since then, Hellmuth has moved to Los Angeles to study at the Herbie Hancock Institute at UCLA, and is about to release Good Intention’s self-titled debut next month. Take a spin with “Whirl,” the album’s lead single:
