Playlist for 7-8-2014 WFCF - Jazz Greats the J Show!

"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
