Wow, what a wonderful, eclectic list, Fred.

[Coda]

I love the breaking glass recording. Jason Moran is really kicking it this past few years.

I've been enjoying Pablo Held's recent cd Elders



Pablo Held - Piano
Ronny Graupe - Guitar
Jonas Burgwinkel - Drums
Robert Landfermann - Bass
Domenic Landholf - Flute and Alto Sax
Jason Seizer - Tenor Sax

Tasteful, unexpected, polished, modern. Just nice jazz music.

I love the breaking glass recording. Jason Moran is really kicking it this past few years.

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, especially when the first track started with spoken word, but I am really enjoying that one.

I've added the Pablo Held to my next download list, I'll be curious to have a listen as that's a new artist to me.

KMHD, the New Thing program. Actual post bop, advanced form stuff on the radio. http://www.opb.org/kmhd/programs/the-new-thing/

[Ron Thorne]

BeBop, my wife & I listened to KMHD on our recent visit to Portland. Great little station! We got hip to it when one of our sons was attending Pacific University a couple of decades ago.
