Fred Anderson & Hamid Drake, Dennis González, Clean Feed Records & Zoh Amba

I missed the original release by Fred Anderson and Hamid Drake of their From The River To The Ocean in 2007, but I'm catching up to this brilliant piece of work. The recording has been made available again on bandcamp.com. It's one of the features of this episode, as is O Life, O Light Vol. 1 from saxophonist Zoh Amba, a new star in the avant-garde world. Portugal's Clean Feed Records has released several new albums recently and you'll hear a sample from those of Hugo Carvalhais, Liba Villavecchia and Mazam. As well, we dig into new releases by Bright Dog Red, Anders Svanoe and Human Pieces, with a closing track from the music of the recently passed Dallas trumpeter Dennis Gonzalez. There'll be more by this very creative musician in upcoming shows.
