Mondo Jazz Turns 100! Zeno De Rossi, Charles Lloyd, Vincent Courtois, Leïla Olivesi, Tim Berne & Other New Releases [Mondo Jazz 100]

This week Mondo Jazz turns "100 episodes old". So we open with the uplifting "celebration" by South African pianist Bheki Mseleku before delving into what we like best, unearthing precious gems from around the world.

During the first hour segment we feature another great stack of new releases, including the upcoming "The Fantastic Mrs. 10" by Tim Berne's Snakeoil and a special focus on the French and Italian scenes, including one of the albums destined to make many 'best of 2020' listicles, Zeno De Rossi Trio's "Elpis". In the second hour we focus on new releases by Kirk Knuffke and Paul Bryan as well as upcoming Blue Note albums by Charles Lloyd and South African pianist Nduduzo Makhathini. To top off Mondo Jazz's 100th episode, a celebration of Federico Fellini's centennial through his soundtrack maestro, Nino Rota, as interpreted by Carla Bley and producer Hal Willner.

The playlist features also Théo Ceccaldi, Roxy Coss, Sébastien Brun, Vincent Courtois, Robin Fincker, Daniel Erdmann, Federica Colangelo, YES! Trio, Fredrik Nordström and Junius Paul.
