This was the last show for January 2018 (already!) and was much in the same line as last week, mostly new material with some visits to the past, largely leaning to the outer rim of the jazz world though with some variety (my run-on sentence for the day!). There we go, program summed up! :-)
The next show will be on at the usual time, usual place, Monday, February 5, 2018, radio station CJSW, 90.9 FM or www.cjsw.com.
Thanks for listening!

After a couple of weeks of featuring all-new material, this show featured a return to the more usual format of older and more recent content being played. That being said, it still had a lean to the newer side, with six of the eight tracks played coming from 2017 (I think one track, by Tricia Edwards, is actually a 2018 release though I'm not 100% sure).
This show also had lean to the out-there side of jazz a bit, manifest especially in the first piece of music played, Nels Cline and Gregg Bendian's loud, noisy, and crazed cover of John Coltrane's "Leo" (from their 1999 release, Interstellar space revisited). Admittedly, I really liked this! I hope it gave some folks a mid-morning freak-out :-)
The next BTT episode will be on Monday, January 29, 2018, usual place, usual time i.e. CJSW, 90.9 fm or www.cjsw.com, 10-11 am MT. Please join me if you can!
As well, remember that you can listen to Breaking The Tethers shows going back several months at www.cjsw.com. You can also listen and subscribe via iTunes, in the podcast section. The same goes for other CJSW programs.

Another all-new edition of Breaking The Tethers here (gotta work through that backlog!). Fave title this week: "The snakes always talk about the ill-fitting doll clothes on the chickens" by Tryyo.
An apology with the podcast: I chopped off the first few minutes of this show. Not too much is missing; some talking from me (not important) and a bit of the first tune (important).
Next week's program, Monday, January 22, 10-11 am MT, will not be an "all-new" show. I've done two of those in a row and it's time to go back to the usual mix of older and newer material. Join me for this "not all-new" show at 90.9 FM or www.cjsw.com.

I've got a big backlog of new material that I'd like to feature on Breaking The Tethers. Accordingly, I turned this into an "all-new" show. Fave track this week: "Apocalympics" by the Gordon Grdina Quartet. Couldn't resist playing something with that title, especially considering that the winter olympics are only about a month away (not that this is a commentary on the olympics!).
The next show will be on Monday, January 15, 10-11 am MT, 90.9 FM, www.cjsw.com. This will also be an "all-new" program, again, just to put a dent in the backlog. I think the show after that, January 22, will feature the more common mix of old and new music.

This was the first Breaking The Tethers show of the new year. It was connected to the list of 2017 top (jazz) albums that I put together and appeared on the CJSW Twitter feed (@CJSW) at the same time as this show (in no particular order):
Rubim de Toledo - The gap
Alien Ensemble - Alien Ensemble 2
Hudson - Hudson
Keith Price - Double quartet
Pharaoh Sanders - Tauhid, Jewels of thought, and Deaf dumb blind (summun kukmun umyun) (reissues)
Chicago/London Underground - A night walking through mirrors
David S. Ware & Matthew Shipp Duo - Live in Sant'Anna Arrest, 2004
William Parker/Raining On The Moon - Great spirit
David S. Ware/Apogee - Birth of a being
Quinsin Nachoff - Flux
The tracks I played in this show were from a few of these albums (I only have an hour, can't play them all!) but were songs that I hadn't played earlier. It was a nice mix, I thought.

This was the Breaking The Tethers annual Christmas show, this year actually taking place on Christmas Day. I was joined by frequent BTT guest host and co-host Linda Cunningham. We chatted about various Christmasy things and played a bunch of Christmas and/or winter-themed tracks (including the always-fun "Merry fucking Christmas", which I think I've played on BTT every holiday season for about the last decade!). Many thanks to Linda for all the work she put into this program!

Second last program of 2017, this was in the same vein as the previous week, featuring two older tracks coupled with new material. In this case, the "old" stuff was made up of parts 2 and 3 of McCoy Tyner's "Enlightenment suite", released in 1973. Everything else was from 2017.
