Bassist and composer Martin Wind is the interview guest on today’s episode of The Jazz Hole with Linus. He is talks about his new album Light Blue (Laika Records) and much more. Plus some music from two other brand new albums today: Sky Glow by the Toronto-area guitarist and composer Chris Platt (Chris Platt Trio) and This City by the Heavyweights Brass Band - also based in Toronto, but recorded during a pilgrimage to New Orleans, the city that has inspired them since their inception.
