Brand new from the jazz legends!



Today's show is similar to last week's: New Jazz and Old Vinyl... much of the vinyl was selected on the strength of it's cover art. New releases from jazz titans like Sonny Rollins, Benny Golson and Yellowjackets. Not much sleep last night so I may be off my game - but the music will still be hot. Vinyl includes another 2-fer from Sonny Rollins - this time for the ride home. Also some Bobby Hutcherson that I haven't listened to yet, but it's got John Abercrombie and George Cables so it should rock. All that and a few extras from Michel Camilo, Sammy Figueroa and Wes Montgomery. Tune in from 3-7pm eastern today (Tues 4/26) by clicking here. See you then - Kendo
