So much music coming in! It’s an amazing time. Thankfully it’s coming as digital files for the most part, otherwise a giant warehouse would be needed. Out of the most recent releases come the following artists whose albums are sampled for the first time: Wadada Leo Smith & Orange Wave Electric, guitarist Avi Granite, Italians Tobia Bondesan (sax) & Giovanni Maier (bass), Polish bassist Franciszek Pospiezalski, Spain’s Oriol Roca Trio with Lynn Cassiers, and the remarkable story of New Zealand saxophonist Neill Watson who lost an arm to cancer but continued to play his instrument with one arm. Lots more for you too. Enjoy!
