Greetings!

Let's see... brand new music from Jon Porras, Uterocele, John Oliver, Lingyuan Yang, Ian Smit and the pairing of Bryan Day w/ Ernesto Diaz-Infante. You'll also get a taste of recent releases from Ye Gods, Avant Orchid Zone & Fletina rounded out by older tracks from Gary Husband, Robert Wyatt & Bill Laswell's mix-translation of Miles Davis. Not too shabby, if I should say so myself.

Enjoy & Have A Happy New Year!

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!

Enjoy!

This week's program was constructed, to some degree, with a kind of "stream of consciousness". Comparisons of the same piece, pieces w/ words, spacey ambience, contemporary composition, kalimbas & fusion. Why not?

Enjoy!
