Mid October Notes & Interviews

For those of you who religiously follow the podcasts, it'll be a bumpy ride over the next few weeks as CIUT continues to get set up in its new facilities. Right now, I don't have direct access to the archives, so I have to rely on others to get the show recordings to me so I can upload them. Also, the sound quality is a bit distorted as well in spots - that has to do with working the new on-air mixing board, which doesn't sound like it's fully optimized yet. These issues will be resolved soon.

In upcoming interviews, tune in next week (October 21) for a conversation with electric harpist Zeena Parkins who's in Toronto for a performance with Phantom Orchard, her collaboration with Ikue Mori.

The following week, October 28, Jeremy Strachan will stop by to talk about his new powerfully grooving skronk jazz outfit Canaille, which releases their debut CD the following night at the Music Gallery.
