There were two features this week. First, all the music played could be said to be "new" or "fairly recently released" (e.g. late 2008). I didn't plan the show to be this way but, once I saw the amount of new stuff that was on deck, I said "what the heck" and went for it. Second, there were a number of quite long pieces played. Nothing odd there (it is jazz; tunes can be lengthy) but there were more than usual and only 16 tracks were played over three hours.
I might be away next week, I might not be. I could do the show but something has popped where it would be best if I passed on Breaking The Tethers on July 7. So, you might hear my voice in seven days or not. I'll definitely be on the air on July 14, barring disaster.

"Invisible cities" - Nomo (Invisible cities)
"Forest path" - The Jim Seeley/Arturo O'Farrill Quintet (The Jim Seeley/Arturo O'Farrill Quintet)
This was my first show for three weeks. I was away in Ottawa and Montreal for about a week-and-a-half. Philip Barker did the May 26 show and Stewart Elton took the June 2 edition. Many thanks to both of them!
Lots of interesting tracks played this week, both long and short (the Gypsophilia tune is all of 39 seconds long!). Perhaps my favourite tracks were the first two played, the jumpy "Warblepeck" by the Tony Malaby Cello Trio and "Slightly all the time" by Soft Machine. The latter track was played in honor of the original Soft Machine bass player, Hugh Hopper (who plays on "Slightly..."), who died on June 7.
The next edition of Breaking The Tethers (with me on board) will be June 16. I should be around for most Tuesdays for the next few months or so.
