Two features for this episode: music from several releases by Clean Feed Records and the story of the White Buses, told musically by Danish saxophonist Benjamin Koppel’s “White Buses-Passage To Freedom”, how Danish people saved the lives of over 20,000 Jews from concentration camps in World War II. Clean Feed artists releasing new albums are saxophonist Mia Dyborg & Trio, saxophonist Ned Rothenberg, pianist Nataniel Edelman’s trio, the duo of saxophonist Phillip Greenlief & drummer Scott Amendola, pianist Simon Nabatov 3+ 2, another trio led by pianist Grzegorz Tarwid, and the Canadian duo, Mercury (Lori Freedman & Nicolas Caloia). There’s also new music from Ivo Pereleman’s Seven Seas Orchestra, Bad Uok from Italy, the duo of saxophonist Rick Countryman & percussionist Matthieu Bec. A show like no other.
