Playlist for 1-22-2013 WFCF - Jazz Greats

Interesting show this week including a request for Roland Kirk. Working on letting you hear the entire "Duster" album by Gary Burton, today we got to the first two tracks. Another album that has recently captivated me is "Atlantis" by Wayne Shorter. New releases from Negroni's Trio and Takuya Kuroda added a nice touch. Thanks to all the friends who helped get the new Facebook page started!

Picked up this vinyl for a quarter at a thrift store today!

Holidays have made the past week a bit hectic - so I didn't pre-plan the show. Lots of vinyl from both the WFCF vault and my own collection, plenty of Christmas jazz and a fair smattering of jazz from the Tampa area. Last show of 2012! Thanks for tuning in and/or stopping by! Merry Christmas - DJ Kendo
