A solo show from Derek for this week’s CJ included music from the new Carmen Lundy release Changes, two tracks from the substantive record When the Heart Emerges Glistening – released to great acclaim last year by Ambrose Akinmusire – and more from Esperanza Spalding’s latest record Radio Music Society. A visitor to the studio requested Polish jazz, so trumpeter Tomasz Stanko got a play and there were two echoes of the previous week’s selections from Alex – Claudia from Brazil and Leroy Vinnegar playing bass on the live from Montreux classic Compared to What from CJ favourites Les McCann and Eddie Harris.
