It's no secret that I love the website Destination: OUT . It's a great resource for jazz that's, for lack of a better word, out there. This week, D:O celebrates six years of existence and to celebrate, they put together a Beginner's Guide to Free Jazz . This gesture was just too brilliant to pass up so some of the selections they put together made up the bulk of this week's show. Head over there to see all I couldn't fit into this one hour. In the meantime... Somi - Kuzunguka This song popped up on my commute before I got to the station. Also, I'm almost always ready to play some Somi. A.M. Architect - Circus Maria Neckam - Obsessed I planned to play this song last week but ran out of time. Le Boeuf Brothers - Two Worlds I've also been wanting to play some Le Boeuf Brothers on the show lately, too. Austin Peralta - Epilogue: Renaissance Bubbles Miles Davis - Rated X I knew when I wanted to put this show together that I would have a hard time placi...

I honestly didn't have much of a clue of what to play this week. Hopefully, you'll still think I came correct as usual. Scott Tixier - Elephant Rose We've been talking this album up a bit at Nextbop recently and it's pretty well lauded at KRTU. That's certainly worth a play in the 1 spot. Flying Lotus - ...And the World Laughs With You (feat. Thom Yorke) Terri Lyne Carrington - Crayola Congratulations to Carrington for winning the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Towner Galaher - Second Line Samba Computer selection Gretchen Parlato - Still (feat. Alan Hampton ) I was sort of stuck on what to play for a bit and then I realized I hadn't played any Parlato in a bit. Beck - Missing Johnathan Blake - Of Things to Come The Eleventh Hour is still streaming at Nextbop, just saying. Ben Wendel - Backbou So's Frame . Matt Wilson's Arts and Crafts - Teen Town Kory was saying this version of "Teen Town" was better than Weather Report...

I don't think I have much of a theme for this week other than this being a collection of mostly new music that I got in this week. Actually, some of it is new and some of it has just been waiting for the opportunity to come to light. Brad Mehldau - Lithium The moment I'm done putting this playlist together, I'm going to tear this station apart until I find this album and rip it to my BlackBerry to have for my very own. It's new and I neeeeeed it. Nicholas Payton - Freesia feat. Esperanza Spalding If you do a standard Google, you'll run across this mixtape somewhere out there in the Wild West that is the Internet. It's free so you might as well put a little work into it. Also, it's still waiting for confirmation but Payton just got on Twitter and he is nothing if not entertaining (like hearing him talk or hearing his music). Mister Barrington - Wrong Number! I've been waiting for Owen Biddle of The Roots to get on a project like this, so I was rea...

It was rather difficult for me to put this show together this time. I sort of walked into the station like a zombie and was hard pressed to put things together, but once I heard the Nels Cline album, I knew exactly how to make all this work. This show gets a little out there but if you have grit, you get to enjoy a really great show. Let's get into it. Maria Neckam - Deeper It's become standard practice for me to ask Seb  for suggestions before putting together a show. He sent me this track to play. I don't play many vocalists but tonight's show is rather vocal heavy. I decided to put much of that singing up front. Gregory Porter - Black Nile This is actually a suggestion from JJ to continue with the vocalists. This was also the first time I put together a show with other people in the room listening. It was weird to have other people around instead of me sitting in a room by myself like a crazy man. Stefon Harris & Blackout - Minor March It should be pretty ...
