Albert Beger, Matthew Ottignon & Sinaptrico

Another of those One Man's Jazz where the selections come from various geographical locations around the globe and cover a lot of miles: from the Middle East a pair of tunes from Israeli saxophonist Albert Beger; from the Pacific you'll hear new releases from Japan (a Tokyo club first-meeting jam featuring saxophonist Kenzo Ogino & two from Australia—saxophonist Matthew Ottignon and the band Jiem); Finland's Superposition supplies the Scandinavian vibes, while Germany's well-known reed player Rudi Mahall chips in with his very first all-clarinet The Straight Horn Of Rudi Mahall, and from the nearby Switzerland comes music from reedist Baptiste Stanek; there are several tracks from the USA of course highlighted by the very unusual creation of multi-disciplinary artist Catharine Cary and her children's stories framed in free jazz music by two Montreal players; and finally a contribution of music from Mexico—there is a growing avant-garde scene there—in the form of Sinaptrico Jazz Trio. No passport required, only ears!
