Episode #12: Rockin' in Rhythm w/Marc Ribot & Colin Stetson
JT editor Evan Haga sits in for Rene Marie, who is in NYC recording her new album. Evan previews new albums from Marc Ribot & Ceramic Dog and Colin Stetson, both of which owe as much to rock as jazz. Lee riffs on how the alt-rock community seems indifferent to jazz and improvisational music. This episode sponsored by DC Jazz Festival.
