Yeah, I got obscene amounts of music for this past birthday. We'll listen to 27 selections from 27 of those albums, as well as some new jazz releases. New to the show include "Capuchin Swing" by Jackie McLean, "Our Man in Paris" by Dexter, and some neat-o material from Kenyon Hopkins (with Teo Macero on sax/clarinet). There will be inordinate amounts of hard bop on this show, all of it top-notch. Tune in Tuesday 6/10 from 3-7pm eastern. Come say hi on the Facebook page, too! Til then! - Kendo
