It seems when autumn rolls around, plenty of new releases roll in, and that’s certainly the case this year. There’s usually a lot of great stuff to choose from and this week’s show reflects that. Old becomes new with the release of a long-hidden and now remastered recording of the Sun Ra Arkestra from 1986. The concert tapes of Sun Ra performing at the 13th International Jazz Piano Festival sat mouldering in a dusty basement in Kalisz Poland until found. That’s one of the features in this episode. Also from Poland are new recordings from bassist Maciej Sadowski’s Kwadrat and drummer Radek Wosko’s Atlantic Quartet. There’s a new The Bad Plus to sample, a triple hit of new albums from the BMC label from Budapest, Hungary, singer Fay Victor’s “Barn Songs” and Chicago bassist Junius Paul’s debut. Lastly, the Internet at work: an incorrectly-addressed package found its way to me thanks to a conscientious Facebook user, and the very creative music from French saxophonist Alexandra Grimal makes its arrival even more satisfying. Hope you enjoy these and more.
