New and old gather together in this week’s program. The main thing was a version of “My favourite things” played by John Coltrane and group from his late period, in fact, recorded at his second last concert (and the last one recorded). It’s a major, furious freakout. I played this several years ago (maybe longer?) and was happy to inflict it on the world again. Check it out here. 

Breaking The Tethers will carry on next on Monday, March 9 at 10 am MT (going for one hour, to 11 am MT). Join me then at cjsw.com or 90.9 FM. 

Thanks.

This episode of Breaking The Tethers followed in the mould of the previous week in that it presented several new tracks along with a featured older piece or two pieces in this case (though they could be thought of as one thing). The older works were "Peace one" and "Peace two" by John McLaughlin from his high-point album My goals beyond; two fave tracks of mine, from a fave album. There was also a taste of "regional" music; some of the tunes had Afrobeat, Indian, and Middle Eastern sounds. It was all very good stuff, I say, and you can listen to it here.

Thanks.
