This week, jazz was the name of the game as I played the brilliant new album "Double Booked" from Robert Glasper. Featuring sic tracks by the Robert Glasper Trio and six tracks from the Robert Glasper Experiment, the album fused old and new styles of jazz into one great collection. I also played Ottawa-born Matt MacKinnon's debut release "Bean Green Over Blue" which is filled with odd time signatures that swing and great instrumentation. To round out the program, I played a couple poems by the 2009 Canadian Poetry Slam champions, The Recipe. This quartet hails from Ottawa and is a must see if you get the chance, check out their schedule on Facebook if you can.
I'll have the show, "Bean Green Over Blue" and The Recipe's Mixtape uploaded soon. Stay Tuned.
