This was a showfill for "Lush life", the Wednesday morning jazz program on CJSW. The regular host of that show, Megan, and I did a switch this week; she did "Breaking the tethers" while I did her program.

Nothing too amazing in this setlist but it was all consistently good stuff. The Coltrane piece at the end was a request by some guys who were stuck in traffic on Deerfoot Trail. I hope they eventually managed to escape!

Next week, I'll be back in my usual slot (Tuesday, 6-9 am) for my usual show (Breaking the tethers). As it will be Christmas Day, I'll be doing a special show, sort of a Christmas freak-out. I plan to play all sorts of wild stuff. Tentatively on deck for the show will be (more) Coltrane, Thurston Moore and Rashied Ali, Ornette Coleman, a drum battle between Ginger Baker and Art Blakey, and many more.
