I've been starting some recent Breaking The Tethers shows with long tunes and I continued that practice today, kicking things off with the 23+ minute "Sometime ago - La fiesta" by Chick Corea, a track I've been wanting to play for a while. I'm aiming to do the same thing on next week's show; maybe a long Keith Jarret piece I've had my eye on...
On that note, the next edition of BTT will be on Monday, March 5, 10-11 am MT, 90.9 FM or www.cjsw.com. Join me then!

Back to Breaking The Tethers! A regular BTT kinda show this week, with old and new music and a variety of styles of jazz. My fave track this week was probably "Brigach and Ganges", a 21+ minute indo-jazz excursion from 1967. I've somewhat got into the habit recently of beginning the program with a long track, such as "Brigach and Ganges"; I think I'll carry that on for a while with future shows.
On that note, the next edition of Breaking The Tethers will be on Monday, February 26, 2018, 10-11 am MT on Calgary's community and campus radio station, CJSW, 90.9 FM or www.cjsw.com.
A reminder that you can listen to older Breaking The Tethers shows on the CJSW site: http://cjsw.com/program/breaking-the-tethers/. As well, you can listen to older BTT programs, usually around six at a time, on iTunes; you can go here or click on SUBSCRIBE on the BTT CJSW site. You can also do the same for other CJSW shows!

February 16, 2018 (Alternative To What?)
http://cjsw.com/program/alternative-to-what/episode/20180215
No Breaking The Tethers (BTT) here! This was a guest-hosting gig on Alternative To What? (ATW), one of the longest-running programs on CJSW (it might be the longest now), hosted by Kerry Clarke. Kerry was unavailable this week so she kindly let me loose on her show. Many thanks, Kerry!
I always like hosting ATW, for two main reasons. First, it's two hours long, which allows me to go an hour longer than my usual show, Breaking The Tethers. More time for more music! Second, the wide musical scope of ATW means that I can play a dog's breakfast of music (not that I don't lean in this direction on BTT), which I think I did on ATW this week e.g. I played a Bob Dylan gospel tune, "Blessed is the name, and a song from a "satanic" group, Coven, "The white witch of Rose Hall".

A few notes about today's show:
*Only one older track played today (everything else was newly released), the free-form "Alpha omega apocalypse" by the late Bruce Palmer, from 1971. Even though the it was the sole "oldie" on BTT, it made up for it in length, running at 16+ minutes. It also featured vocals from the one and only Rick James!
*Interestingly, all the new pieces of music just had one word titles. The only multi-word title belonged to "Alpha omega apocalypse". Honestly, I didn't plan this!
*I cut off the first few minutes of the show on the recording. My apologies. Fortunately, it just chops out some of my rambling and not any music!
That's it! Thanks for listening this week.

Another mixed bag of sounds, much like last week, with mostly new(ish) tracks played. This week was a bit less "out there" than last. I did a thematic book-end of sorts today, with two songs with the word "nebula" in their titles starting and ending a set of four tunes ("Nebular" by Food from their 2012 album Mercurial balm - a fave of mine - and "Nebula" by the Liebman/Murley Quartet from their 2017 record Live at U of T). I've got a few more bookends in the planning stages...
See ya next week, Monday, February 5, 2018, 10-11 am MT, 90.9 FM, www.cjsw.com.
