Episode Details

This fortnight, Mike's cued up four newish releases with very different approaches to modern jazz. We have a couple piano trios (one of which calls in reinforcements from time to time), a duet with some space-age percussion, and a gigantic, sprawling big band project. Pat sneaks some jazz vinyl talk into pop matters. Omar Thomas – GRIOT SONGS; Rachel Eckroth – SPEAKING IN TONGUES; Bill O’Connell – TOUCH; Eric Bell – VULNERABILITY.
