Louis Moholo Moholo, Sven Åke Johansson, Olie Brice & Ville Lahteenmaki Trio

The final tunes of this episode of One Man's Jazz are memorials to two of the most important drummers in creative music who passed away within days of each other in June, and they're honoured in this episode. Louis Moholo-Moholo and Sven Åke Johansson came from very different places; Moholo Moholo was the last living member of Blue Notes, the group of musicians who fled South African apartheid to become major players and influences on the English, then European, jazz scenes; Sven Åke Johansson was born in Sweden then moved to Germany where his drumming permeated the avant and free jazz worlds for many years. He was known as one who eschewed institutions and did his own thing.

If you're looking to see what new albums are being sampled, look for music by English bassist Olie Brice & quartet, trumpeter Dan Rosenboom with a preview of an August release, three wonderful saxophone trios led by Tony Malaby, Camila Nebbia & Ville Lahteenmaki, the one-man band Organic Pulse Ensemble and Italian saxophonist Carlo Cattano.
