Aaron Parks, Artur Dutkiewicz Trio, Julius Gawlik & More

The final regular episode of the show this year (the 120th) is dedicated to November's new releases. Fewer albums dropped than usual, but that doesn't mean they were any less fascinating. Quite the opposite, in fact: I've unearthed a handful of true gems once again, including three promising debut albums that feel like discovering hidden treasure in your own backyard. Since this is the only November edition, I'm skipping the usual split between Europe and the rest of the world (no geopolitical drama here, just good music). Among the featured artists are several international collaborations, plus performers from Australia, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, United States—and, for the very first time on the show, from Estonia and Tunisia. Podcast in Polish (Bemowo FM radio broadcast). Tune in—your ears will thank you!
