Some of our podcasts have themes.  This podcast has a wide-ranging mix of three 2023 releases and one moderately historical entry from an ECM guitarist whose name Pat dare not pronounce.   Can the jazz violin be a force for good?  We think so.  Can Pat find a Pyroclastic release that tickles his fancy.  You betcha -  but no more spoilers.  Terje Rypdal – Ketil Bjornstad– LIVE IN LEIPZIG; Ingrid Laubrock – THE LAST QUIET PLACE; Canadian Jazz Collective – SEPTOLOGY: THE BLACK FOREST SESSIONS; Sara Caswell – THE WAY TO YOU.
