As social distancing becomes the norm in this new world, filling the spaces with music seems like a great idea to keep people together. Two musicians whose careers did exactly that are recognized in the last part of this week's episode: pianist McCoy Tyner and drummer Jon Christensen, both of whom passed in recent weeks. They will be missed.

New recordings appearing for the first time come from NY guitarist Matt Forker, the Musica Nuda from Poland, Finnish saxophonist Adele Sauros, French bassist Theo Girard, Bartok's transcriptions of Transylvanian Folk Songs interpreted by Lucian Ban, John Surman and Mat Maneri, more from Rick Countryman and Sabu Toyozumi, Aussie pianist Chris Cody and a preview of next show's feature, pianist Sebastien Ammann & Color Wheel. Enjoy the music!
