I have been touting French drummer and percussionist, Sylvain Darrifourcq, from the first time I heard him; that was with the Emile Parisien Quartet. I often dig out those recordings for a listen and I remain amazed at what Darrifourcq does. He’s an eclectic player and bandleader as well, as evidenced by some of his own projects. His latest, a trio with saxophonist Manuel Hermia from Belgium (another player I like a lot) and French cellist Valentine Ceccaldi may be Darrifourcq’s best to date. “Kaijū Eats Cheeseburgers” is the feature in this week’s episode. Also new Urs Blochlinger Revisited, a band celebrating the late Swiss saxophonist, a pair from trombonist Samuel Blaser, Swedish pianist Lisa Ullén’s trio, more from artists from Buenos Aires, and two of Europe’s young lions – pianist Elias Stemeseder and drummer Max Andrzejewski – joining forces on “Light/Tied”. It’s a good one!
