January 22, 2024

I've said it before but it's worth repeating: Some shows just go well. The music flows and falls together nicely. My banter is good. There are few, if any, butterfingers moments or technical issues. This week's program was one of those Goldilocks editions. I had a good feeling at the end of it.

Musically, the episode was dominated by two long(ish) sets. One set was relatively straight-ahead and had a notable amount of piano. The other was more from the outer rim of jazz. In addition to these, there was a soul-jazz number ("The underdown groove" by Russ Spiegel) and a UK free jazz number ("Too suchmuchness" by Elton Dean et al). Please give it all a listen here. 

Breaking The Tethers will return on the last Monday of January 2024, the 29th (yeah, we're there already!!). Join me from 10 to 11 am MT that day, at cjsw.com or 90.9 FM.

Thanks.

Andrew
