Endless Riffs and the Gift of Steve Von Till

Jeff and Ben riff briefly on great heavy riffs.  But the real riffing is in the expansive dialogue that takes them from Slayer to the great jazz imprint ECM records and beyond.  In the second half, they deep dive into the great Steve Von Till's most recent records No Wilderness Deep Enough and its ambient companion A Deep and Endless Wilderness.  Both Jeff and Ben hold Steve's music in great esteem. Indeed, it is a true gift in their respective lives.
