My favourite record label, bar none, is Clean Feed situated in Parede in Portugal. It has been my go-to source for creative music for some years now, and it always is at or near the top when it comes to number of plays at the end of each year. The label kindly sent me the latest bunch, and I’ve slotted in some of those into this show. You’ll hear tracks from the José Lencastre Nau Quartet “Live In Moscow”, Gonçalo Almeida/Tobias Klein/Marin van Duynhoven “Live At The Bimhuis”, Harris Eisenstad’s Canada Day Quartet Live, the power trio Gorilla Mask, and two earlier releases by Angles 9 and Avram Fefer. Also debuting new albums are Nate Wooley (Battle Pieces 4), the AVA Trio, Juan Garcia Vinuesa, Kris Davis with her amazing “Diatom Ribbons”, and courtesy of AUM Fidelity Records more music from the late David S. Ware’s later period. Top that off with some music from the avant garde scene in Buenos Aires and Chris Lightcap’s all-star group, and this is one of those shows packed with great music you might like to tell your friends about.
