"Lady be good" - Tchavolo Schmitt (Miri familia)
"Blue jug/Harold's blues" -The Peter Hand Big Band (The wizard of jazz: a tribute to Harold Arlen)
"Bell orange curves" - Joe Morris (Colorfield)
"Santiago" - Gordon Grdina's East Van Strings (The breathing of statues)
"Prince of orphans" - Brenan Brothers (The throw down)
"Take everything" - Kate Schutt (Telephone game)
"Hub-tones" - Freddie Hubbard (Without a song: live in Europe 1969)
"Opoczynski" - Ethnocity (Autumn dreams)

"Yurugu" - In the tradition (The tradition continues!)
"Song not for you" - Vivian Houle (Trieze)
"Him or me" - The Terence Blanchard Group (Choices)
"Flyin' high (in the friendly sky)" - Dirty Dozen Brass Band (What's going on)
"Dibango" - Joe Lovano Us Five (Folk art)
"Drum line" - Donald Harrison (The chosen)
"Varmit" - Jason Adasiewicz's Rolldown (Varmit)
This was a show with a fairly wide and varied set of tunes and songs (there were four tracks with vocals; don't think I've done that before!). Perhaps my fave track this week was the totally whacked-out "Song not for you" by Vivian Houle. Gotta love freaky vocals and semi-grungy guitar.
Something to watch for: In about 3 or 4 shows, I will be playing the 4000th song on Breaking The Tethers. I'm not quite sure when this will happen but I will have a better idea as the time gets closer.

"Orbit" - Jean-Christophe Beney (Polychromy)
"Friendly galaxy" - Sun Ra (Disco 3000)
"Monk" - Jimmy Cobb (Yesterdays)
"Zoom zoom (part three)" - Keith Price (Breakfast of champions)
Lots of great music this week. Some faves:
The Ted Daniel tunes - Didn't know of him before the two CDs crossed my path but I liked what I heard. Kinda free but not totally out there.
"Because/Come together" by George Benson - Up to this point, I've only ever played George Benson in his role as a sideman, especially from the the early '60s. To be honest, I really don't like the solo material I've heard from him (it's proto-smooth jazz mush). However, most of the tracks from this "Abbey Road" album work well.
"Old castle..." by Chick & Hiromi - Slightly spooky dual piano workout.
"Legal action" by James Carney Group - Nice use of synthesisers.
"We'll figure out blues" by Eri Yamamoto Trio - Just a good piece of music. For some reason, it brought a smile to my face.
So, the music was good this week but I made one major mess-up (and one minor one). At one point, I forgot what the request line was! 3.5 years of doing Breaking The Tethers and I drew a blank. My brain, some days... I recalled what it was soon enough and now I am regularly repeating to myself, 220-3991, 220-3991, 220-3991...
Next show will be Tuesday, January 26, 2010, as would be expected.
