Rabble Without a Cause

Rabble Without A Cause is a program focused on avant-garde jazz, free jazz, and improvisational jazz -- both historic and current. An hour of music that pushes the boundaries, or colours outside of the lines, carrying on the legacy of the late Bernard Stepien, the longstanding host of Rabble Without a Cause.

Music on the show will include artists such as Cecil Taylor, Sun Ra and Anthony Braxton as well as many Canadian artists, such as Marianne Trudel, Peggy Lee and Francois Bourassa.

Join host Ian M. in the discovery of new frontiers in jazz.
