On this installment, I highlight some of the great new music, or in some cases music that is new to me, that has arrived over the past month or so. I also pulled out a couple of releases from two pioneering figures within the realms of free jazz and the avant garde who we sadly lost this past week, that being Milford Graves and Ghédalia Tazartès. I hope you enjoy this episode. Feel free to get in touch if you have any comments or questions. As always, thanks for looking and listening.
