Favourites from this show include "Khalid of space part two" by Larry Young (and his mighty organ), "Canyon song" by Oregon, and "Black unstoppable" by Nicole Mitchell. I played a fair amount of mellower, more "normal" jazz during this show, even though it's not really my taste; I do try to cover a lot of ground and today, the coverage went in this direction. So be it.

I'll be out of the country for a week so Philip Barker will be taking the reins of Breaking the Tethers on January 29. He will do a fine job, as always. I'll be back for the February 5 show.
