Kenny Burrell 1969 - photo by Jan Persson

The theme for this week's show is "W". More specifically - the sets are divided up into who, what, when, where & why. In light of all the ghastly events in world news, lately, I've decided to spin in it's entirety Kenny Burrell's "God Bless the Child" album during the third hour. There's a little background on this album on the FB page. All this plus new jazz releases! Tune in Tuesday 8/26 from 3-7pm eastern, and say hi during the broadcast on Twitter.
