Tomorrow (Monday, 28.11) takes place the last concert of this year's Autumn Jazz Festival, thus there won't be any live program, but a pre-made playlist is ready to be uploaded directly on mixcloud. For those who can't attend the live event, couple of pieces by the Conference Call Quartet will be played

Apart from that, we'll continue our run through the cds reviewed during the summer, including "Consort in Motion" cd by Samuel Blaser where Paul Motian appeares. I guess, by this point, the sad news have reached everyone interested in jazz. Paul Motian passed last week, on 22.11., he was a true inspiration for musicians and listeners alike, he will be missed.

Unfortunately only once the program was ready and made, arrived another sad news - Hans Reichel - a truly original guitarist and an inventor of daxophone passed away also on 22.11. He doesn't appear in the playlist but let it be dedicated also to his memory
