"On today’s episode of The Jazz Hole, interview guest Philippe Lemm talks about “First Steps” by the Philippe Lemm Trio (released via Outside In Music), consisting of Philippe Lemm on drums & percussion, Angelo Di Loreto on piano and Jeff Koch on drums. The new album by the NYC-based Dutch drummer, percussionist and composer Philippe Lemm is centered around his unique background in dance, but it also happens to be pianist and composer Angelo di Loreto's last studio recording before his tragic passing last Fall. Philippe Lemm took the time to talk about the beautiful music as well as the sad tragedy. The other trio featured on today’s ensemble is TuneTown, which pools the creativity of three of Canada’s top jazz improvisers: Kelly Jefferson (saxophones), Artie Roth (bass) and Ernesto Cervini (drums, percussion and on bass clarinet). Their sophomore album is entitled Entering Utopia and just came out on Three Pines Records.
