On this installment of the podcast, I was fortunate to have an actual in-studio guest back on the show, which it has been quite some time since I’ve been able to do that.

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…
I’m going to try and get back into a fairly consistent schedule with the podcast in the months ahead, alternating between episodes focused primarily on newer music and episodes featuring the work of specific artists or labels.

On this installment of the podcast, I dig into the work of the Chicago-based independent label, Trouble In Mind Records.
