I've noticed a lot of albums by Canadians on this year's JazzWeek charts. And there are some new ones that, surprisingly, haven't made those charts. I've taken some time to listen to some of those albums and play tracks that stand out for me. And what a variety! Enought great quality recordings for two episodes.

Some of the artists you'll hear this week include:

-Jeremy Ledbetter Trio

-Bria Skonberg (with Gabrielle Cavassa)

-Brasstactics

-Kris Davis

-Angela Verbrugge

-John Lee

-Aretha Tillotson

-Christopher Parnis

-Nick Adema

-Sahil Chugh.
