It's the first Jazz Greats show of 2015, so our theme will be "One, Once, First". All songs will have one of those words in the title, except for new jazz releases. I think this might not be the first time we've done a 'one' theme, but there are lots of different and interesting selections this time around. Sinatra, Ahmad, Coryell & TJ Kirk, for starters! The "Ride Home" (at 5pm est) will be a lengthy cut from Pat Metheny Group, and the show will end with another beefy track from John Coltrane.  Tune in online here, on Tuesday 1/6/15 from 3-7pm eastern.

Lots of special things happening on this week's show. We'll hear 4 tracks from Dave Brubeck's "Time In" album, the particularly fine, final installment of the "Time" series from the 60's; where Dave, in particular, really means business! In addition, we'll hear a lengthy track from Chuck Owen's fascinating new cd "River Runs", a concerto for jazz guitar, saxophone & orchestra. And for the last hour of the show, we'll hear randomly chosen selections from random Facebook friends, from my recent  Top 55 Jazz Tracks for 2013 list. They each picked a number without knowing what it was for. The resulting playlist (and the way it fit the station's time formatting) is nothing short of execptional, especially that last selection! We all know Who made the set work out so well ;) ~ Tune in for all this & more plus new jazz releases. Listen locally at 88.5Fm or tune in for free anywhere in the States via iHeart by clicking here!
