All righty, let’s close out 2024 with 90 more minutes of the good stuff. Thank you so much for listening, and thank you to all the artists who have sent their work my way. I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride, and we’ll keep meeting up as we head into the new year. Start […]

No stops on this one. We kick off with a pair of contemporary piano pieces, find our way into the drifty zone, ramp things up with some old-school goodness, and close out, as is often the case here, a bit quietly. And along the way, you get chocolate. Enjoy! Start Richard Shulman, Blessing, […]

Back into the tanks we go for some spacey drifts, downright hypnotic piano, one amazing song title, and…a cover tune? Don’t look at the playlist before you listen–I think you’ll get a kick out of what it is. (And it’s definitely jazzier than you remember!) Let’s go. Start Sacred Seeds, Vibrational Balance, Spectral […]

I know what you’ve been thinking, “When will John get around to doing another clever, well-thought-out theme show?” Maybe someday. In the meantime, here’s a very meh theme idea that still gives you 90 minutes of great music. And the title of it is… Start Fred Baty, The Upper Air, The Upper Air2.13 […]

As you’ll hear, I thought about it. You know, that theme. Instead, one homage to jazz lettuce and then we’re off into a joyful traipse through the library before delving into some new stuff.

Oh, kids, this one’s got it all! Supergroups, weird titles, albums I got by mistake, strange and perhaps slightly discomforting songs, names I had to look up or ask how to pronounce, and at least one well-known artist I never thought would end up here. Curiosity piqued? Let’s flow. Start Dark Sky Alliance, […]

If you’ve been here before, you know that the rule is that the flow dictates the show. So this one starts off fun and funky with an infectious track but in short order turns into something drifting and just a little bit lazy. As Vonnegut said, so it goes. Start Don Plok & […]

Music can get a little weird at times–ever notice that? Well, you might this time around. But it all flows and lightens across time, so that’s good, right? If nothing else, you get to hear your host apologetically mangle someone’s language for the umpteenth time. So worldly. Enjoy. Start SKSSS & Koiwa, 88888, […]

The unfortunate reality is that sometimes, artists hang out in the Holding Tanks for a good long while–too long, in fact–waiting for me to get around to putting them into an episode. So this time out my goal is to try to clear out some long-lingering music and give these folks their due. Quite a […]

Even on my best days here I’m just making it up as I go, trying to find the way one piece rolls into the next to keep you immersed in the sound. So let’s do that again. Let’s see if I guessed correctly. Quick stop at the midway point to say hi. Start Cartas de […]

This one’s kinda sorta not really got a theme. I won’t mention it here, so as not to spoil the oh-so-clever opening bit. (Were you around when oh-so-clever opening bits were much more of a thing here? Say hi in the comments if you were!) Away we go. Start Loneward, Structural Eternal (excerpt), […]

I’ve been thinking that I should start titling my shows like some other more popular podcasts do. Like, ones that tie into a theme such as “Silent Messages of a Distant Past” or “The Space Between the Dark Stars.” Let’s try it, okay? Here’s this week’s program, “Good Music That I Feel at Least Reasonably […]

Settle in. I want to tell you a story….a mystery, really, about The Albums That Went Missing. Oh, it’ll mystify you and maybe bring a chill to your soul, but in the end it turns into 90 really good minutes of music. Ready to hear the tale? Start Tom Sonntag, Unknown Dancer, The […]
