Ches Smith, Ivo Perelman, Leif Berger & Dan Phillips

Click the play button to listen

Music coming from all directions in this edition of One Man's Jazz. Drummer Ches Smith is a true chameleon these days; every album has a different theme or direction or a different band. On his new Clone Row he turns to the twin guitars of Mary Halvorson and Liberty Ellman to stir the pot. Saxophonist Ivo Perelman seems to be releasing albums at a rapid clip, so no surprise then that he's making all of his releases for Leo Records available again. You'll hear music from Arcanum, which features a new Nordic quartet for ECM, Chicago guitarist Dan Phillips & Trio, German drummer Leif Berger's quartet, more from the Queen Bee Records program of releases featuring Bay Area artists, plus a first-time live concert meeting of Belgian pianist Bram De Looze with greats Hank Roberts, Thomas Morgan & Joey Baron. Enjoy!
