ECM records continue to release an eclectic range of remarkable music which transcends narrow genre classifications and offers the listener the chance to explore new sounds and experiences. Four excellent new releases from that label are featured on this episode. In addition there is a fascinating and varied mix of new releases yet again proving that Jazz is a broad church. I close the show with an excellent live recording from the legendary Wayne Shorter from the first in a series of new live albums celebrating the great man.
