This episode of OMJ is packed with great improvisers and musical explorers. The much-respected bassist Michael Formanek found the isolation of the pandemic gave him time to look at music a little differently, and the result was an exploration of what he calls palindromic music. That's the basis for his new release with his Drome Trio, Were We Where We Were. Brandon Lopez (bass), Ingrid Laubrock (reeds), and Tom Rainey (drums) show the depth of their improvisatory powers on their latest No Es La Playa. There's a bunch of new things from Europe artists, led by the brilliant Polish trumpet player, Piotr Damasiewicz, trio Punkt.Vrt.Plastik, and three from France, saxophonist Sylvain Cathala, the quartet Otok, and the large ensemble, Healing Orchestra.Playlist
