It went AWOL for a while due to technical issues (my fault) but, finally, here's the link to the podcast and tracklist for the Sept. 18 edition of Breaking The Tethers. Apologies for this taking so long. Anyway, this was a solid show, I thought, with an interesting bookend in the middle set employing the word "Hudson".

Two main things to point out from today's program:
1) 11 tracks played in this episode. This may not seem like much but, normally, at most, I end up featuring at most nine tracks in a show. There's no problem playing any number, of course, but sometimes it's just nice to get a lot of tunes out there.
2) Plenty of Canadian content in the show. 7/11 were Canadian. Again, normally, the number is less, usually one, two, or three. It's always great to be able to showcase Canadian musicians.
And, of course, the music was all good, too! :-)

Sept. 18, 2017 podcast and tracklist AWOL
In case you've been looking for it, the podcast and tracklist for the Sept. 18 show have gone AWOL. See here. It's a technical issue and one that is my fault. It should be easily fixed and I hope to get the link for Sept. 18 plus some comments posted here soon.
On a related note, I'll also get something up for the Sept 25 program up in the very near future.
Thanks.

Look! I finally made a post on the day of the show! Haven't done that for a long time!
Anyway, today's program was much in the vein of last week's, with the usual mix overall, a long track to begin things ("The 42 assessors" by Steve Coleman and Five Elements", which hopefully weirded out no small number of folks with its mix of chanted ancient Egyptian prayers and free jazz!), two Horace Silver tracks from the 60s, a great bass feature ("Root structure" by Mike Downes), and some Jethro Tull ("One for John Gee"). It all went together well in a big aural soup, I think. More of the same next week... most likely :-)

While I'm not as late with this post as I was for the Aug. 28 show, I am still so here's a (smaller) apology.
This week marked a return to the "normal/usual" format for Breaking The Tethers, a mix of styles (leaning a bit to more "out there" sounds) and dates, featuring music that could be called jazz in some form or other. I thought today's show fit together very well and, at the same time, was kind of all over the map. It'll be the same kind of thing next week (Sept. 11).
Thanks.

I am bad. I am behind in getting this post out, close to two weeks. My apologies. Anyway, a few quick words about the Aug. 28 show:
I ended up deciding to do an "all-old" program, with nothing newly-released and featuring a bookend of Joe Lovano tracks. On that note, I'm going to be doing a bit more "bookending" in coming shows; that is, starting and ending a set with different tracks by the same artist, maybe with some sort of connection, maybe not.
The posting for the Sept. 4 program coming next.
