Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left Center

Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center - Prog On The 4th of July

Greetings!
Since today's program falls right on July 4th, I've decided to return to an older PTE tradition of playing only progressive rock; new, classic and in-between.
Enjoy!

5-30-26 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center

Greetings!
Scattered  throughout today's program are takes in both word and music of "Blue in Green", the classic Miles Davis/Bill Evans tune. (Happy 100th Birthday, Mr. Davis!) 
That didn't start out being intentional until i noticed that the opening Laurie Altman piece was later followed by the similarly titled Morten Qvenild track.  I was then motivated to find a couple of more unusual covers of "Blue in Green", notably by Dave Fiuczynski's Screaming Headless Torsos & the classic lineup of Oregon. 
These keep company with a plethora of new and less recent musics from multiple genres.
Listen & Enjoy!!

Greetings!
The agenda for Phase One includes new releases and a couple current acquisitions of my own. In Phase Two, we honor the memory & music of just intonation composer Michael Harrison, followed Viet Cuong's imaginative composition, "Re(new)al", a percussion quartet concerto which address the topic of renewable energy. I recently had the privilege of seeing the Columbia Symphony perform this piece here in my hometown of Columbia, MD.
Listen & Enjoy!
