Monash University in Melbourne, Australia is the home of the Sir Zelman Cowen School Of Music. It's an excellent program that believes in challenging the students. One of the ways it does that is to bring in internationally recognized artists to perform and work directly with the students. This episode presents some of those Monash sessions. Guitarist Ben Monder and trumpeter Ralph Alessi traveled from the USA while Sydney's acclaimed saxophonist Sandy Evans joined her friend, the much praised pianist from Melbourne—Andrea Keller—for their session. That's the feature in this episode along with a new album from tenor man Rich Halley and his NY ensemble, albums from Boomslang Records, and South Africa's SPAZA.
