Greetings!

All over the place this week! Starting on more of a jazz note, meandering all over the place to more ambient/atmospheric things from the folks at Projekt Records and focusing on new releases in Phase Two.

Enjoy!

Greetings!

It's always a unique sonic experience when Kevin Kastning releases new music and I'm happy to open this week's program with his two latest, paired with long-time compadres, Sandor Szabo & Carl Clements. In addition, we honor the memory and music of the late Jack DeJohnette, followed by a number of new things, including a notable release from percussionist/composer Pauline Roberts.

Enjoy!

Greetings!

Limited production time means longer pieces, so we return to Tim Brady's excellent current release for the title track, the Nakedeye Ensemble's take on a classic Frederic Rzewski piece and Pamela Z's new composition, "Simultaneous" in it's entirety.

Enjoy!
