Breaking The Tethers
Listen to Breaking The Tethers for music you could call jazz, broadly defined. Free, modal, experimental, avant, out there, and more are words you could use for the music that BTT feeds to your ears. Breaking The Tethers sends out tentacles to experimental, folk, rock, world, and odd stuff that doesn’t have a label. Presented to you as a Monday morning sound experience. Suggestions, requests, and comments are always welcome.
