This episode features a broad variety of creatively improvised music. New releases sampled come from East Axis, a sizzling quintet of Matthew Shipp/piano, Gerald Cleaver/drums, Scott Robinson/reeds and Kevin Ray/bass, Swiss saxophonist Christoph Irniger & Pilgrim, Canadian saxophonist Francois Carrier, NY saxophonist Alex Weiss, master drummer Andrew Cyrille’s latest solo recording, and a very interesting trio of Italian bassist Sebastiano Dessanay with Americans Vinny Golia reeds and Tina Raymond drums. And I was so impressed by Kevin Ray’s bass playing in East Axis that I tracked him down to get a copy of an album by a trio called 1032 K with Frank Lacy trombone and Andrew Drury on drums. Actually there are many great bass players heard throughout this entire show.
PS: I didn’t add any links due to time constraints, but most of these recordings should be available on bandcamp.com. If there’s something you can’t find, use the contact form and I will dig up the info for you.
