Episode 5 will air this Monday (10/6) at 10 am and this week's show will feature new music! I have been collecting and curating a lot of new music over the last few weeks and look forward to sharing new artists and new tracks with this week's listeners. Listen live if you can.
I have been listening to Matt Ulery's latest release, "In the Ivory" this week and it is a gorgeous set of music. I have posted it as this week's "Alloy Recommendation" (see the sidebar of the website for links related to "In the Ivory"). I plan to post a full review of the album in the days/weeks ahead.

The focus of the upcoming episode of "Alloy: A Mixture of Jazz and Progressive Music" will be new music. Since the launch of the show I have been collecting and curating a lot of new music and look forward to sharing new artists and new tracks with you on this week's show. Stay tuned.
