On today's new episode of The Tonearm Podcast, saxophonist Alden Hellmuth discusses her new album 'Tether, which revolves around two bass players carving out separate sonic spaces while staying locked to a shared pulse.

Much of the conversation centers on 'Tether''s compositional method and how a DIY gig at a Non Plus Ultra, plus a steady diet of Deerhoof and the Japanese punk band Otoboke Beaver, influenced her take on jazz. Hellmuth also talks about what it meant to study at the Herbie Hancock Institute under Ambrose Akinmusire and Herbie Hancock himself, and how that mentorship reframed her music-making.

It's a fun and enlightening episode — be sure to tune in: https://podcast.thetonearm.com/alden-hellmuth-saxophone-tethered-to-a-galaxy-of-bass-tether/

Hey #jazztodon is there any reason for me to *not* go see Immanuel Wilkins at a super intimate venue a ten minute bike ride up the coast this Sunday afternoon? Seems like a no-brainer to me…

Hey #jazz pals, Rachel Eckroth's The Garden is a fun, heavy banger. Deep synth, fat bass, stochastic sax, all funky all over the place.

Somehow it's good for writing memos...

Realised last night that I'd never listened to #JohnColtrane 's Love Supreme all the way through. I had just watched #Drumeo and their excellent dive into the drums on the album.

I've corrected that now and yes, it's everything people said it was. https://open.qobuz.com/album/0060253742084

Definitely up there with Miles' Kind of Blue for me.

#TunesOnTuesday shares my new lyrics to Johnny Mandel's 1950s be-bop head "Pot Luck." The title was a perfect inspiration for the words. #songwriter #songwriting #jazzsong #jazztodon #johnnymandel https://ohljazz.com/2025/09/30/tunes-on-tuesday-pot-luck/

Saw an absolutely banging show at our local beachside jazz club tonight! Sarah Hanahan and her quartet brought incredible energy, just blew the roof off the place.

What started out as a stunning afternoon turned golden when band and audience together went outside during set break to watch #whales splashing around just off the beach. We watched the sunset as we rode our bikes back home down the coastal trail. Just a magical afternoon really.

Thanks to @digginjazz for introducing me to Sarah Hanahan on his podcast In The Groove: Jazz and Beyond!
