This is an episode that mixes a continued look at some of my favourite releases of 2022 and new albums that have just arrived. Those include baritone saxophonist Dave Sewelson’s new “The Gate”, violinist Sano Nagano and some very interesting new European releases from guitarist Marc Ducret taking on the music of Tim Berne, the exciting new and young trio led by German pianist Simon Lucaciu, Estonian pianist Kristjan Randalu, and drummer Peter Bruun from Denmark. Also, from oceans away, new albums from Wellington, New Zealand saxophonist Frank Talbot and Japanese free jazz giant, trumpeter Natsuki Tamura.
