Ches Smith, Damasiewicz / Wania, Fujii / Ono & Roberto Ottaviano
Click the play button to listen
Plenty of genre-stretching music in this episode, from drummer Ches Smith's new Laugh Ash, vocalist Amirtha Kidambi & Elder Ones and their drive to make their music reflect the need for protest, and the Ewart/Asplin/Ricks Trio, featuring master AACM reedist Douglas Ewart, recorded live at BYU. Polish trumpeter Piotr Damasiewicz hooks up with fellow Pole, the talented pianist Dominik Wania for the intimate The Way, The Truth, The Life " while Satoko Fujii joins saxophonist Ryoko Ono for a sparkling set of tunes. As well, there's music from South Africa, anticipating the newly announced partnership between Ropeadope Records and City of Gold Arts, which advocates for African music. I don't know if trumpeter Ndabo Zulu will be releasing anything for the new AfricRise label, but he's a great example of the kind of music happening there. Lots more too, including the latest from Italian saxophonist Roberto Ottaviano with Alexander Hawkins on piano and a musical acknowledgment of the recent passing of the esteemed Luxembourg saxophonist Michel Pilz.Playlist
