Eclectic but electric. That pretty much tells the tale of this episode of One Man’s Jazz. There’s some great energy in this one. New recordings sampled come from Los Angeles trumpeter Dan Rosenboom and a dynamite quartet, South African drummer Asher Gamedze, Steve Swell’s Fire Into Music featuring Jemeel Moondoc, the Belgian quartet Plume, Fergus Quill’s Imaginary Big Band from England, and superb trio led by pianist Eva Novoa. Plenty more too. Hope you like what you hear.
