Once again, today's edition of Breaking The Tethers was an "all new" show, featuring newly-released material.  There was just too much new stuff on my plate to do anything different.

There were a few trends in today's program.  On one hand, a number of tracks definitely came from the experimental side of town (e.g. Zach Cooper; Of Sound, Mind and Body).  On the other hand, I played a few modern-sounding, fairly straight-ahead tunes that were performed by medium-sized (leaning to large) groups (e.g. Snarky Puppy; Andy Jaffe Nonet; Stryker/Slagle Band).  Electric guitar also made prominent apperances (e.g. Rez Abbasi & Junction; Alex Goodman).  We'll see what crops up next week.

Speaking of next week (June 13, 10-11 am MT), I suspect it might end up being a "new" show as well.  But, again, we'll see.
