Sometimes, producing an album takes work, labor, a bit of suffering and a lot of negotiation. For Central New York Based Dave Solazzo and the Bridge, the trio knew after one session that they had to hit the studio and then the road.

The fruit of that chemistry produced the 2023 album Locrian Skye, and you'll hear selections from that release on this episode of the program. Featuring Dave Solazzo on piano, Matthew Vacanti on Bass and Bill D/Agostino on Drums, and from a March 12th, 2025 performance, it's Dave Solazzo and the Bridge…Live at the Bop Stop.
