Kendo's MP3 Deal of the Week:
Hampton Hawes "All Night Sessions 1"

5 cuts for under 5 bucks and free to stream if you're already a prime member. Hampton in his hard bop prime with Jim Hall's guitar evening the keel. Solid.

Kendo's MP3 Deal of the Week II:
Junior Cook - "Something's Cooking"
None of the cds aired this week had an extraordinary deal, so here's an even better mp3 deal - this contains two albums and 12 tracks and about 70 minutes of high quality jazz at a nice price. "Good Cookin'" has Slide Hampton arrangements (and on trombone) and the great Bill Hardman on trumpet! "Somethin's Cookin'" features Cedar Walton on piano, a great version of Cedar's "Fiesta Espanol", Buster Williams on bass and a very enthused Junior on sax - my favorite cut is the lengthy track I played tonight "Illusion of Grandeur".

Visit the artist's website!

The theme for this week's show is the color black. All song titles have the word "black" in them. Fun! As with every themed show - all kinds of songs popped up: familiar and obscure, lighter fare and urgent cuts, modern productions and musical antiquities! Journey through them all with me on Tuesday August 12th from 3-7pm eastern. Listen online for free here. See you then! - Kendo
