Minoru Muraoka, Alice Coltrane, Jazztobak And More
by Lawrence Peryer
This episode explores the theme of rediscovery: a 1970 Japanese shakuhachi record just reissued, and a Swedish duo closing things out on a stripped-down reading of an old socialist hymn. In between we present a run built entirely around one photography book, unpublished 1970s portraits by the late Warner Bros. photographer Ginny Winn. The Residents are ...
Julius Hemphill: Marty Ehrlich and Tim Berne Remember a Musical Visionary
by Dave Kaufman
Julius Hemphill, a brilliant alto saxophonist and extraordinary composer, was a towering figure in avant-garde jazz and creative music. Yet his body of work remains surprisingly little known, even among aficionados of this sort of adventurous music. Hemphill's music demonstrated a deep feeling for the blues and other African American traditions. His creative vision extended well ...
Bill Laswell, Kronos Quartet, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, And More.
by Lawrence Peryer
The first half of our show is a deep dub run: an obscure mid-1990s compilation cut, Harry Mudie's 1976 session with King Tubby, Scientist's early-'80s Channel One sound, Prince Far I, and Bill Laswell, who shows up twice, once under his own name and once as the producer who reassembled Bob Marley's catalog into ambient dub ...
Sequoia Snyder: Growing in the Light of the Masters
by Paul Rauch
It was day three of the 47th annual Detroit Jazz Festival, a sunny Sunday late afternoon with just enough white, puffy, high sky clouds to keep the massive crowd gathered at Hart Plaza comfortable. The JP Morgan Chase stage at the southeast corner of the plaza seemed to hang perilously on the edge of the Detroit ...

Azar Lawrence, Brad Mehldau, The Bad Plus, Joshua Redman And More
by Lawrence Peryer
I am endlessly interested in the intersection of music and ritual. Formal ritual, spiritual gatherings incorporating music, even liturgical music. Then there are the rituals of making music: the band silently setting up and breaking down, on-stage and in the studio. The order in which gear gets assembled and plugged in. The in-jokes or running gags. ...
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

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 ...
