"Blue Jay" - Sadelise
acrylic on paper
Visit the artist's website!

This week's show is brought to you by the letter "J". Yep, it's a themed show. All the artists on the playlist have first names that begin with the letter "J". The other thing going on here is that all of the tracks have never been played on the show before (except for the last one - could not resist a little A Go Go). I had a lot left over - so this might be a two-parter; no Coltrane! The only track I really felt like playing is "Sun Ship" - not everyone's cup of tea. But I might bring it and slip it in somewhere and then duck & cover. Tune in for the jazz Tuesday 7/8/14 from 3-7pm eastern. Listen for free online by clicking here. See you then! - Kendo

Happy Spring, everybody! For this week's show, diversification was an inspiration - playing artists or albums that haven't appeared on the show, before. Also, an initial goal for doing the dj thing was/is to bring back into focus recent albums that get lost or forgotten, because of the ever-flowing influx (in vast amounts) of new music. So today we'll hear some quality tracks from last year; namely Michael Blanco, Barbara Morrison, Mark Gross and Brad Mehldau. At 5:30 we bring back the "Virgin Sacrifice" - with an unopened vinyl copy of "Moon Rappin'" by Jack McDuff (courtesy of Jim Driscoll). And to top it off, folks who tune in or stay tuned til the end will hear the "Jazz Odyssey" track - this week it's a slayer from Chuck Mangione Quartet (1972). Thanks for listening! - DJ Kendo
