New Video Series with DJ Kendo!

 I've recently resurrected the YouTube channel associated with the "Jazz Greats" radio show. Trying to make the content more of what I myself would like to see in my feed... so not clickbait, not disingenous, fun, novel, (hopefully) unique and mostly sharing items from my own collection. I recently started a 4 part series about a time 10 years ago I purchased a ridiculous amount of vinyl for a song. A few peculiarities, a few keepers, and lots and lots of crap! Likes and comments always welcome! Thanks for stopping by - Kendo

Wonderfully inventive double album!

As some of my listeners know, I've taken up delivery driving and along with a break from playing jazz gigs.

This week we listened to tracks that struck me as being exceptional from these albums, in particular "The Heatin' System" by Jack McDuff, "It's Time" by Jackie McLean and "Amazonas" by Cal Tjader.
