It's June 25 already... halfway through the year... sigh... but what's the alternative?!

Anyway, a good show today with a wide variety of styles presented. It also featured the most number of tracks played (12) in quite some time; normally, I play eight or nine per 60 minute program, occasionally one or two more.  I'm sure I've played more than 12 before but not for a long while.
Oh, and everything played today was newly-released.

I'm away for the next show, which will be on Monday, July 2, but Linda Cunningham will be filling in. Please join Linda from 10-11 am, 90.9 FM, cjsw.com.  I'll be back for the July 9 program and then away again on July 16 (more on that later).

First show back after two weeks away. This was a good one, I thought, with a mix of old and new and of styles.  There was oddball jazz-funk (Steve Coleman and Five Elements), straight-ahead soul-jazz (Jerry Weldon), jazz quartet meets string quartet (Peter Madsen's Seven Sins Ensemble), and more.

The next Breaking The Tethers program will be on Monday, June 25, 10-11 am MT, 90.9 FM,
cjsw.com.  I might make this an all-new show; I've got quite the pile (literally and figuratively) of new music on deck that I want to share.

This was the first of two shows in June that I won't be hosting. This week's episode was hosted by John C. Reid, who focused on the artists that will be coming for the YYC Summer Jazz Festival 2018.  Many thanks, John!

As I type, Adam Mbowe is hosting the June 11 program (thanks, Adam!).  I'll post on this show later.

I'll be back on air next week, Monday, June 18, 10-11 am MT, 90.9 FM, www.cjsw.com.  Please join me then!
