This week we're gonna have a listen to a few tracks from a 'guilty pleasure' album: Walter Murphy's (yes, that Walter Murphy) "Rhapsody in Blue".

This year's haul is just plain obscene, and it'll take a few weeks to get through. Plenty of slots for new jazz! Oh yeah, I got a brand new vinyl copy of "Something You Got" from Art Farmer. Sounds amazing! We'll spin that too! For all this and more tune in online by clicking here on Tuesday, May 20th, between 3-7pm eastern.  See you then - Kendo
