Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left Center

THE HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL STRANGE MUSIC DAY
International Strange Music Day was created by Patrick Grant, a New York City musician and composer. The aim of the celebration was to get people to play and listen to types of music that they had not before. Grant believed that something as simple as broadening our musical taste can also make us broadminded and more accepting of others. He follows the mantra ‘listening without prejudice.’ Grant also picked the day to promote his new album “Fields Amaze” in 1997, as a way to honor his girlfriend’s father (and his artistic mentor) on his birthday. By 2002, the day became an international phenomenon with various artists and venues. This growing movement is now attached to concerts, hosts a record label, and gains popular support from summer schools. The day is also appreciated as a great way to stimulate young minds.

I'm finally catching up on the backlog of unposted shows and continuing to go through the piles of music that have amassed since before the onset of the pandemic.  Therefore, many new or new-ish items in addition to honoring the memory of the late Michael Henderson, bassist extraordinaire, here shining on a track recorded during his tenure with Miles Davis, from the classic "On The Corner" sessions.
Enjoy!

Yes, I'm finally getting to catch up on posting current programs since I wasn't needed to work on Sunday as I had been originally scheduled. (I'm per diem speech pathologist, but I'm still not overly fond of 6 day work weeks.)  Nonetheless, today's program focuses primarily on a playlist suggested by an article, written by Paul Walker on the Medium.com website, entitled, "The Best Seven Prog Rock Albums of 2022 So Far".  (Unfortunately, you can't check out the article, since it has since been removed by the author.)  Having not heard any of the releases, I thought it would be interesting how my thoughts about the music lined up (or not) with Mr. Walker's.  Actually, they're quite close.
Enjoy!

This week I've decided to return to my old PTE tradition of featuring progressive rock on the week of July 4th.  Outside of a track from Renaissance, most of my selections are based on newer bands, including Connecticut based bands like new band The Far Cry and an older band that members came out of, Holding Pattern.  
I hope you enjoy my Progressive 4th on the 2nd!!

Today's festivities feature tracks of some length, since I will be away in Portugal and wanted to have a show ready, but put it together in a minimal amount of time while I get all my travel stuff together. I'm particularly happy to feature one of two extended tracks from Jack Curtis Dubowsky from his new release, "Bolsa Chica Calm", an homage to Bolsa Chica State Beach, one of his favorite surfing spots in Huntington Beach.  The piece references ambient, environmental, new age and experimental music, from vaporwave to Wendy Carlos’ "Sonic Seasonings."

Greetings!
I'm slowly getting through a ton of new releases only to have them replaced by other new releases.  A radio programmer's work is never done. 
I'm very happy to open the program with "Music Inspired By Two Poems Against War" by Stanley Grill who states, "I still harbor an inner faith that music possesses a power to reach into the hearts and minds of those who are listening and influence them for the better. With that thought in mind, much of my music was written to encourage thoughts about the possibility of peace."
 
Enjoy!
