Kelan Phil Cohran, Airto Moreira, Nicholas Payton & Butcher Brown, Plus Others
by Lawrence Peryer
Episode 19 is about the many ways of turning old material into new work: Kelan Phil Cohran's 1993 planetarium session resurfacing as a proper vinyl reissue, Concepción Huerta printing electricity onto magnetic tape, Wild Gods treating archival Gaelic lament as material to be worked rather than heritage to be preserved. It closes on two records built ...
Hill Collective, Terri Lyne Carrington, Pharoah Sanders And More
by Lawrence Peryer
This week's Rotations deals in unfinished business, musical and otherwise. Charles Lloyd revisits a Mumbai session he started in 2009 and never finished. Piero Umiliani's old Rome tapes get a new life at the hands of a producer working from what he left behind. Pharoah Sanders and Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru's decades-old recordings sit easily next ...
Akusmi, Nelson Patton, arc rae, hackedepicciotto, Grateful Dead and more

Episode 17 spends its first half putting things together: drone loops rebuilt into full arrangements, improvised cello reassembled into composition, a century-old fiddle tune rebuilt with dance and harmonics, before heading to Los Angeles for a band that builds the same unresolved tension by hand, live, in a room. The back half turns from a microtonal ...
Camila Nebbia, St. Silva, Danalogue, M. Geddes Gengras, Curio Curio, Myth Math, And More
by Lawrence Peryer
Episode 16 spends its first half in transatlantic synthesis: a Buenos Aires-Berlin improv duo, a Vermont ambient composer's tape collages, and a member of The Comet Is Coming reworking the studio synthesizer as a lead instrument on his own. The back half : Curió Curió's diaspora-pop debut, Matthew S reviving his influential Illegal Art label as ...
Suzanne Ciani, Dee Alexander, Nicole Mitchell, Tomeka Reid, Coco Elysses, Renee Baker And More
by Lawrence Peryer
This week opens in memoriam: a tribute EP for the late AACM pianist and educator Ann “Mama Ann" Ward, played by the Chicago improvisers who came up under her. From there the hour turns to two young horn players remaking their own instrument's vocabulary, before settling into this week's TheTonearm.com lineup: Suzanne Ciani's synthesizer music rescored ...
Can, Steven Bernstein, Hen Ogledd, Scrimshire, Cento Threeo, And More.
by Lawrence Peryer
This week's Rotations moves outward and back. It opens with a fifty-year-old Can improvisation newly pulled from the archive, swings through a set of brand-new records by three artists featured this week on TheTonearm.com, then settles into Japan for three records spanning eras, a vintage recorded dialogue, a television-drama score, and psych-rock's Kikagaku Moyo frontman gone ...
Alden Hellmuth, Ambrose Akinmusire & Mary Halvorson And Much More
by Lawrence Peryer
This hour of Rotations keeps landing on people who built something durable and then disappeared from view before the credit caught up: Julius Eastman, memorialized on Wild Up's fifth anthology volume; Francis Bebey, still ahead of his contemporaries decades after wiring a thumb piano through a drum machine; Amara Touré, whose entire known output fits on ...
Dave Douglas, Sun Ra, Frank Zappa And Much More
by Lawrence Peryer
This week's Rotations is a parade of restless inventors. A surf-psych single gives way to modern jazz, a score for a 1960 horror film, and the room-sized synthesizer a pair of tinkerers built in 1970. From there it's Seattle indie pop, New Jersey jangle, two saxophones turned into an orchestra, and a New York shapeshifter, before ...
Louis Hayes at Jazz Alley
by Paul Rauch
Louis HayesJazz Alley Seattle WA June 23, 2026 At eighty-nine years old, the fact that drummer Louis Hayes is still touring as a bandleader is remarkable in itself. The fact that he is still playing so well, and playing with great energy is downright inspiring. With the sun burning bright, ...
Elton Dean & The Wrong Object, Steven Bernstein, Joe Henderson And More
by Lawrence Peryer
This episode of Rotations is about the conversation between what's just been made and what's been waiting to be heard. We move from a clutch of brand-new records and hear art-pop, haunted folk, choral minimalism, drumless ambient jazz before moving into a 1969 session that sat lost for half a century. It's an hour built on ...
