the album that started it all...

Daylight savings is the worst! Kudos to California for doing away with it this week. The show largely revolved around this contentious topic - with songs that had something to do with it ("day", "daylight", "hour", "daybreak" etc) - but first we delved into some of the best of the new jazz shelf for over an hour! Finally - we listened to some hefty tracks from the year 1971, and also payed tribute to the late Sonny Fortune. Thanks to all who tuned in! - Kendo
