"I've never been in love before" - The Cory Weeds Quintet (Everything's coming up weeds)
A nice mixed bag program, leaning to the more avant/experimental/free side of things. I even snuck in a Christmas tune, though it's a banjo-throat singing version of "Jingle Bells".
This was my last show until Tuesday, January 12, 2010. I will be out of the country for the next three editions of Breaking The Tethers. I'm not sure who will be filling in for me (I believe it will be a variety of folks) but I'm sure they will do a great job. More postings (and music) next year.

I was joined behind the board today by Brent Constantine, the new host of Off The Page, the Gauntlet news program on CJSW. Brent needed some familiarization with broadcast procedures at CJSW and did a great job.
Fave tracks this week: Sonny Simmons (even though I played the wrong song! haven't played any Sonny Simmons for a long time), "Vietnam 2" by the Revolutionary Ensemble (I aired "Vietnam 1" yesterday), and "The griots" by J.A.'s Rolldown.
One week left, one last show before my Christmas break.Andrew

"Gratte-moi le dos" - Vivian Houle (Trieze)
"Oxamu" - Andy Narell (Live in South Africa)
"Vietnam 1" - Revolutionary Ensemble (Vietnam 1 & 2 (at the peace church))
"323 shuter" - The Cory Weeds Quintet (Everything's coming up weeds)

"Suite for the wolfman: the tribe" - Barry Romberg's Random Access (Was shall why because)
"Stimming" - The Rick Jensen Trio (Snowdrift)
"Summer hair" - Canaille (Potential things)
This was a showfill for the Monday morning jazz program on CJSW, The Jazz Baby. The regular host, Kat Lord, couldn't make it this week so I filled in. I very much liked the line-up of tunes this week; the tracklist was put together with a little less care and a little more haste than usual but things worked out well. I was particularly fond of the music that was new to me, including the Revolutionary Ensemble and the Sun Ra track (not that Sun Ra is new to me, of course, but the track I played was).
I'll be back on air tomorrow with Breaking The Tethers, the second last show until my break.
