Of the 8 albums I selected from over 400 new jazz releases so far, I had only heard of six of the artists.

I tabulated a list of new releases....including some that haven't yet been officialloy released. Then used a table of random numbers to select 8 of those albums.

Two of them are archival records. All the others were totally new to me. And there's one I'm definitely going to follow up on. An album clled Vinterstemmer by Danish pianist and interpretor of popular Danish songs, Jacob Anderskov.

If you are into taking risks, this is a great episode to listen to.
