"Blue Miss Sunday" Devics - (If you forget me…)
"Niglo 1 waltz" - Les Doigts de l'Homme (1910)

This was the exact 5th anniversary of Breaking The Tethers going on the air, though I didn't really celebrate this, just mentioned it a couple of times. Maybe I'll do more for future events of this nature.

Perhaps the most interesting element of the show today was the country element. Though it was far from an all-country program, country-ish sounds popped up in a few numbers (e.g. Jason and the Scorchers, Cast of Thousands, etc.). It all adds to the variation on BTT.

Like last week, this program featured a pronounced lean in the directly of newly-released jazz. This week's show retained the same direction though to not as much of an extent; there was a nice mixed bag of other tunes and songs featured. Looking at what's on deck, I suspect that the June 27, 2011 will be similar to today.

I hope I'm not letting the cat out of the bag (too much) but it looks like CJSW Funding Drive 2011 will take place from Oct. 21-28. Should be fun! Stay tuned over the next few months for more information.

In the days prior to this edition of Breaking The Tethers, a large number of new jazz CDs and new CDs that lean in a jazz direction crossed my path. Most fit the BTT style so I gave them a whirl in this show. It was probably the most jazz-focused program since BTT left the jazz-only format. A few other items slipped in (Johnny Cash singing in German, Steve Earle, etc.) but it definitely had a jazz bent. As always, next week will be different, maybe way different.

I am late with posting the playlist for the June 6, 2011 program. My apologies. But I should have it on the blog later today.
