Jazz Alchemist radio with a lot (kind of postponed, read below for details)

I'll still be trying to present the albums reviewed during the radio summer break. There won't be any clear unifying theme this time although the lyrical moods and/or neo-classical inspirations will be heavily featured.

We start tomorrow (Monday) at 8 pm CET on www.radiofrycz.pl and I'll be waiting for you on facebook chat as usual.

The other news is that I've just finished an interview with Waclaw Zimpel, I'm very excited about it and (although I'm not sure yet when exactly) it will be posted on the blog in the near future.

The playlist and mixcloud player will appear below:

Ok (Edit:), due to the slight stomach issues the live playlist for today is cancelled and postponed till next week. However I'll upload for your listening pleasure a program from the archives that is almost one year old and thus, jumping one week ahead of us, we'll celebrate birthdays of Jimi Hendirx, Coleman Hawkins and Scott Joplin. Here's the original post.

Here's the playlist:

1. Augusti Fernandez & Barry Guy - Annalisa
2. Coleman Hawkins - Chant (Coleman's birthday on 21.11)
3. Ab Baars Trio with Ken Vandermark - Goofy June Bug (Ab Baars birthday also on 21st and he's playing this week in Krakow :)
4. Mina Agossi Trio - 3rd Stone from the Sun (Jimi Hendrix britdhay on 27.11)
5. Ray Anderson Pocket Brass Band - The Pineapple Rag (birthday of Scott Joplin on 24.11)
6. Thelonious Monk - Ruby, My Dear (Coleman again with smoky tone :)
7. Gato Barbieri - Tango (from 'Last Tango in Paris") (Gato's birthday on 28.11)
8. Fredy Studer, Christy Doran, Django Bates with Phil Minton - Manic Depression
9. Mary LaRose, Jeff Lederer, Steve Swell, Dominic Duval - The Wind Cries Mary
10. Air (Henry Threadgill, Fred Hopkins, Steve McCall) - Weeping Willow Rag
11. Barry Guy New Orchestra - Inscape-Tablaux part IV (including a beautiful, upscaled to orchestra arrangament of 'Odyssey')
12. Mina Agossi - Voodoo Chile
13. Peter Brotzmann, Mats Gustafsson, Paal Nilssen-Love - Bullets Through Rain
14. Medeski, Martin & Wood - Hey Joe
