Shows like this episode demonstrate why there’s so much great music being created these days. Bassist Lisa Hoppe moved from her native Germany to Switzerland is now located in NYC where she’s much in-demand. She’s a very lyrical player and her compositions are fearless and very original. Her Third Reality Trio on the new recording “The Mighty Unlikely” is atypical: saxophone, guitar and bass, but takes Hoppe’s tunes to a new world. Too bad this recording is on a label out of Germany because it deserves much audio exposure here. Good thing I got a copy because I can play it for you on the show.
Other new featured tunes come from the English trio (one of many trios on the show this week) of pianist Pat Thomas, bassist Dominic Lash and drummer Tony Orrell with music inspired by Paul Bley, drummer Peter Perfido, Die Parzäos from Colombia, Michael Formanek’s Very Practical Trio with Tim Berne and Mary Halvorson, Chris Speed with Chris Tordini and Dave King, Belgium’s De Beren Gieren with a 10-year celebratory EP, and more. You’ll likely be entranced
by an excerpt from the very extended “The Adornment Of Time” by Tyshawn Sorey and Marilyn Crispell, and intrigued by the microtones of Gebhard Ullmann. Top this off with a return from Polish trumpeter Tomasz Dabrowski’s Free4Arts quartet, and I think you’ll have to look hard to find a show as interesting as this one.
