Playlist for 2-11-2014 WFCF - Jazz Greats!

"Scheherazade" - Vojislav Vasiljevic
visit the artist's website!

Hey - the 100th post on this blog! w00t! I had a real good time putting the playlist together this week - couldn't wait to spin it! In addition, requests were taken from the listeners on FB. Sunday, while everyone else was watching the Beatles special, I was playing Kenny Burrell's "Night Song" and having my heart and soul moved, and thrilling to the breathtaking statements he makes throughout! We heard a great one from that, and we continue exploring "Happenings" by Bobby Hutcherson. As a finale - we delved into another amazing & lengthy cut - this time from Charlie Haden.  If you enjoy the show or even just the playlists, come say hi and give us a like on the Facebook Page. Thanks for stopping by! - Kendo
