*I played a track from Ahmad Jamal in the summer and thought I would return to him here, with the first song in the show, a live version of "Manhattan reflections". This one is interesting in that Jamal plays both acoustic piano and Fender Rhodes, the latter a rarity with him.
*I really dug Jorja Smith's version of St. Germain's "Rose rouge", my fave track from the Tourist album.
*"Slappin' truck" by Chord Four is a fine track instrumentally but, like "Snorkel cows" the previous week, I couldn't resist playing it just because of the title.
*And yes, I did play some straight up prog, the short song "The spider" by Kansas. Sounds like jazz to me :-)
Feed this show to your ears at bit.ly/2WzHDFK.
Join me for the next Breaking The Tethers show on Monday, December 21, 10-11 am MT, cjsw.com or 90.9 FM. This will be a kind-of Christmas program, with a few Christmasy things (e.g. two Christmas sound collages) mixed with the usual BTT fare.
Thanks.
Andrew
