Kendo's Vinyl Deal Recommend:

Bobby Hutcherson - "Happenings"
This album was forward thinking and still sounds fresh today. Originals like "Rojo", "Aquarian Moon", "Bouquet" and "When You Are Near" are stunning, and the dreamy version of "Maiden Voyage" is splendid - the album features Herbie on piano. The vinyl release is a Prime item and is actually $1 cheaper than the cd currently lists. It also comes with a digital download. 

Kendo's CD Deal Recommend: 



Paul Desmond - "Pure Desmond"
Pure relaxing jazz with Ed Bickert on guitar and Connie Kay on drums! Desmond sounds great and very engaged.

As if we need an excuse for jazz shenanigans...this week's show falls on April Fool's day so... instant theme show! Song's about fools, folly, jokes, pranks, idiots as well as a few songs that are jokes themselves. New jazz mixed in as well as a good number of tracks that have nothing to do with foolishness. Albums new to the show include "Count Basie at Newport", "Chet Baker Sings" and Christian McBride's "Number Two Express" and a superb 2006 effort from Mark Egan called "As We Speak". Fun and games begin Tuesday 4/1 from 3 til 7pm eastern. See you then! - Kendo
