Click the play button to listen

This week we focus on three fascinating releases which celebrate the genius and legacy of Don Cherry, after starting with a tribute to Led Zeppelin, Emma Rawicz's new project, one of the best piano trios I've heard in a long time, lead by drummer Vinnie Sperrazza, and new music by Michael Formanek.

Happy listening!
