A season I wanted to start a while ago around avante garde/experimental music, a part of music I quite like. Hearing bands that can bring something original or unexpected to music.
This episode will feature Jazz artists. I know Jazz can be controversial, but for experimental music I can see how it fits in with future bands and artists, as I hope to show in the coming weeks
