Different Noises

There are a wide variety of releases on offer in this collection of music. From established bands who have been around from many years to exciting new groups of musicians working together to create and develop fascinating and novel approaches to Jazz. As the show progresses we move from the conventional to the experimental. Featured artists are : Ron Ledoux Quartet, Rainer Brüninghaus, Anouar Brahem, Ariane Racicot, Arturo O'Farrill Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, Rahel Talts,  AriSawkaDoria, Ari Joshua, Yellowjackets, Emily Mikesell & Kate Campbell Strauss, 3 Cohens WDR Big Band, Emitime, Dawn After Dawn, Torche !, Eunsil Noh & Tom Jacques, and, Hollenberg Weston Spiker Trio

This one starts off fairly conventionally (well in the context of that I usually feature) but in the second half starts to examine some music which does fit the Different Noises title most accurately. In some sort of circular resolution it goes back to rock/punk towards the end. It’s good to mix some rock ‘n’ roll in with some of the more left-field material.

A mix of old and new on this edition. I dip to the archive for a look at the tributes by Dave Douglas and Chet Doxas to the music of Jimmy Giuffre and Carla Bley.

In these strange times it is perhaps more important than ever to embrace the surreal side of things, surround yourself with good music, and find some escape from the mundane. I hope this collection of new and old material helps you, dear listener, find some semblance of abnormality in which to dwell!
