Today’s guest deejay is Muriel Grossman .

Muriel is an Austrian alto, soprano, tenor saxophonist, and composer. Muriel has released 13 albums, all on her Dreamlandrecords music label.

On today’s show, Muriel plays select tracks from her albums and music that have influenced her.

I was introduced to Muriel through Phil Freeman on Ugly Beauty, his long-form blog on Stereogum, where he shares his thoughts on jazz and new albums he has listened to. Phil’s turned me on to a lot of great stuff, and Muriel is no exception.

Muriel and her band have a distinct sound. You’ll know it when you hear it. They will lock into a groove, and that groove can be trance-inducing.

Sunday, January 23rd, Muriel will be performing at the Porgy & Bess Club in Viena and Jazzit in Salzburg Monday, January 24th. Muriel will also be performing at Le Duc de Lombard in Paris this Wednesday, January 26th.

Today’s interstitial music is “Traneing In” by Muriel Grossmann.

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Phil Freeman.
