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

Hey - the 100th post on this blog! w00t! I had a real good time putting the playlist together this week - couldn't wait to spin it! In addition, requests were taken from the listeners on FB. Sunday, while everyone else was watching the Beatles special, I was playing Kenny Burrell's "Night Song" and having my heart and soul moved, and thrilling to the breathtaking statements he makes throughout! We heard a great one from that, and we continue exploring "Happenings" by Bobby Hutcherson. As a finale - we delved into another amazing & lengthy cut - this time from Charlie Haden.  If you enjoy the show or even just the playlists, come say hi and give us a like on the Facebook Page. Thanks for stopping by! - Kendo
