This week exciting new music from bassist Federica Michisanti whose Horn trio is a band without drums and harmonic instruments, which gives more freedom for an unconventional approach and sound. There's Radam Schwartz Organ Big Band where the leader becomes the first organist to play all of the bass lines throughout an entire big band album. Jose Rizo's Mongorama sees the third release from the band lead by the popular and influential DJ. Also fresh sounds from The Necks, and, a unique two bass pairing for the Frode Gjerstad Trio + 1. I'm also continuing to look at Italian saxophonist Felice Clemente's back catalogue. Plus there's good selection from the archive with music from John Coltrane and Alice Coltrane, Jack DeJohnette, and Wes Montgomery.
