Playlist for 2-26-2013 WFCF - Jazz Greats

New music in my library played today - including Alain Bradette, George Benson & Marlena Shaw! We also continued our exploration of the "Duster" album by the Gary Burton Quartet, and are now 3/4 of the way through it! Pet shout-outs, new CTI moments, a spin of the 78 pictured above and some rare blues vocals by Louis Armstrong. I was a coffee short of real cognicence today, but had fun, especially with the new jazz shelf! - DJ Kendo
