Blog Name: Jazz 88.3 Library Blog - New This Week	Author: Vince Outlaw	Posted on: February 25, 2013

The bounty of New continues to flow in the Jazz 88 Music Library and this week, in addition to a mix of ensemble sizes from trio to big band and large ensemble and highlights of regional tributes from Indianapolis to Harlem and Afro-Caribbean, we've got probably one of the most ambitiously technical improvisational projects around with Pat Methany's 2 Disc recordings from his Orchestrion Project. We will be debuting as many as we can get to on The New Jazz Thing with Vince Outlaw, Monday, February 25, 2013 from 6 to 8 PM PT.
