After the first listen, I immediately added multi-reedist Jason Robinson’s most recent release “The Urgency Of Now” to my list of favourite releases for 2020, and now he’s comes another worthy addition, “Harmonic Constituent”. Jason’s becoming a force. Check out his music!!! Also new this episode, L’Orchestre National De Jazz turns to Ornette Coleman on their latest “Danicing In Your Head(s)”, while three of Portugal’s finest improvisers (José Lencastre, Hernani Faustino and Vasco Furtado) stir up the pot on their new “Vento”. You’ll also hear the Nordic quintet I.P.A.’s new “Bashing Mushrooms” this week, and clarinetist Ben Goldberg and percussionist Kenny Wollesen team up to create the eclectic yet dreamy “Music For An Avant Garde Massage Parlor”.
