Playlist for 4-6-2021 WFCF - Blue Haze

 

Music from a major crossroads in Miles' life.

On this show we had an in-depth look at the album Blue Haze, listening to and discussing Miles' decline and rise surrounding the time periods of the two sessions that make up the album. We also listened to what other jazz musicians were up to around the same time period, and kept things fresh with selections from the new jazz shelf. The last hour was dominated by soul jazz as we explored releases from Herbie Mann and J & K. Thanks for stopping by! - Kendo
