Ben Allison, Rickie Lee Jones, Mette Henriette, Jo Lawry & Other New Releases [Mondo Jazz 228-1]

The painstaking job of unearthing subtle nuances which were lost in earlier mixes of five of his albums is at the heart of the remastering labor of love that Ben Allison [pictured] has embarked on during the pandemic. During the first part of our show we focus on listening with new ears to some of our old favorites from those album. Then we turn to other musicians that strive to discover new angles and perspectives about old tunes, or to examine how sound, textures, and silence, also play a key role in the process of discovering compelling harmonies and melodies. The playlist also features Romain Pilon; Jo Lawry, Linda May Han Oh, Allison Miller; Mette Henriette; Joon; Raffaele Casarano. Detailed playlist available at (up to "Malaspina"). Happy listening!
