Much to my delight, Lisbon’s Clean Feed Records has decided to stay in business; it’s been my favourite and most-played label for several years now. Their summer batch of releases is emerging and this episode presents music from two absolute winners: “Come Down Here” by trumpeter Luis Vicente’s trio and Italian soprano saxophonist Roberto Ottaviano’s trio and “Lacy In The Sky With Diamonds” – not music by the Beatles but rather a tribute to soprano saxophone hero Steve Lacy. Also new this week are upcoming albums by trumpeter Michael Sarian, Polish saxophonist Irek Wojtzak & his impressive Tentet, Serbia pianist Katerina Katchetova, Australian saxophonist Sandy Evans, the duo of Japan’s Satoko Fujii and Natsuki Tamura, The Who Trio (Hemingway-Oester-Wintsch live) and much more. This show’s packed with great new stuff.
