Themed show this week: "Four or More"! Excepting new releases, all the selections feature lineups with four or more horns, but are not quite big bands. We'll hear entire sessions from Miles Davis, Art Farmer/Gigi Gryce and Shelly Manne, as well as fascinating material from Teddy Charles, Shelly Manne, Benny Golson and more! New jazz releases for the first half hour and then we'll jump into the theme and go chronologically! Tune in Tuesday 1/13 from 3-7pm eastern; listen online by clicking here. Say hi on Twitter! See you then! - Kendo
