Acknowledging the arrival of Winter,
this set explores the jazz scene of Scandinavia, where the winters
are cold, dark, and gloomy, yet the jazz is blinding white hot.
From 1972 to 2005, from Finland to Norway and Sweden,
we travel the many styles and genres of scandinavian jazz.

50 minutes)
Warped, twisted, and distorted oscillations.
As mentioned in the BC Blog, this bonus set travels
even further out in the land of echoes, reverbs, and dubs.
This time however we
seriously push the definition and boundries of "jazz",
and explore the way out territory of warped oscillations.
(So as not to upset any regular subscribers,
this set is not included in the BC rss feed.)

As a shout out to our musical brothers at
Quincy Essential,
this one digs into the spiritual side of the groove.
The spirit is inside everyone of us,
however we all experience and express it differently.
The musicians in this set express their spirits uniquely as well.
From modal moments and divine grooves to wailing saxes and soaring gospels,
the spirit is definitely within.
