The main labels on this program were "new" and "Canadian". Most of the tunes played were new releases and by Canadian artists, all fine stuff. That being said, perhaps both my fave tracks were neither new or Canadian (well, one of these was a reissue). These were:

"Upper Egypt & Lower Egypt" by Pharoah Sanders and Sonny Sharrock, recorded live in 1993. Great playing on a classic avant jazz tune.

"Iapetus" by Hadley Caliman from the 1971 album of the same title, named after a moon of Saturn. A tenor sax player that I'd never heard of before (or had forgotten). I've glad to have heard him now.

You can listen to these and everything else here. 

There'll be more BTT at CJSW in a week, on Monday, July 27. Tune in starting at 10 am MT. Go to cjsw.com or 90.9 FM.

But I'll on air again sooner than that! I'll be guest-hosting Alternative To What on CJSW on Thursday, July 23. Please join me from 4 to 6 pm MT that day, same station coordinates.

Thanks.
