4-27-24 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center - TWOFER: A side: Chag Pesach Sameach! (Happy Passover!) / B side: The Music of Kevin Kastning

Greetings!

Using Teiku's new self-titled 577 Record release as a springboard (in which the ensemble interprets Ukrainian Passover melodies in the jazz tradition of Creative Music), I wondered if I could cobble a Passover oriented set with music I had in my own collection.  The fruits of such an endeavor inhabits Phase One.

In Phase Two, I wanted to focus on the incredible musicianship of guitarist/pianist Kevin Kastning and his improvisational pairings with diverse musicians from around the globe.

Enjoy!

Joel
