This week on Visions, I play disparate parts of what I’ve been listening to lately, discovering, and revisiting. I’ve got classics from Thelonious Monk, Gary Bartz, Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman, Donald Byrd, and Clifford Jordan.

I play my new music discovery from Dana and Alden featuring Mei Semones. I also include new releases from Nicholas Payton & Butcher Brown, Joe Lovano’s Paramount Quartet, Tyshawn Sorey, and fairly new tracks from Jeff Parker’s ETA Quartet and Dave Holland.

Check out the playlist below and listen to the episode on-demand for two weeks after it airs using the media player above.
