Episode 231: New Releases from 2023

I’ve started listening to some of the new music that artists and publicists have been sending me, and have made some great discoveries. In this episode I share with you a few of them.

The episode starts with a trumpet player from Vancouver (Daniel Hersog) and his 17 piece jazz orchestra. And it ends with a 9-piece group led by saxophonist Brian McCarthy.

Between those you’ll hear old-style swing, modern Latin, electronic-jazz fusion, bebop (including some with a Cuban touch), part of a symphonic suite of Stardust, and at least one that is totally unclassifiable.
