Going around on Facebook is an interesting “game” called 15 Albums. You make a list of albums that have “stuck in your mind”. Place it in your notes on Facebook and tag 15 friends. Sure enough, I was tagged and proceeded to make my list. I got lots of comments, and others made lists. The game is still spreading, so check me out on Facebook. Friend me and let me see your list too. You can find my 15 Albums list here: http://bit.ly/9AzlJK

This show goes in many musical directions with one set dedicated to the Katrina anniversary with some New Orleans sounds and Terrance Blanchards memorial to the hurricane and the disaster that ensued. A Tale Of God’s Will (A Requiem For Katrina) is Terrance’s touching tribute and one selection from an entire suite he composed dedicated to the events of 2005 in New Orleans. Beyond that set, we get a little funky with tracks from Stefon Harris and Liquid Soul, we go Indian with Mynta, go free-jazz with Sky Steele, and finish up with some latin jazz from Chucho Valdez. How’s that for going all over the map.

This week’s podcast is introduced by Dave Holland, followed by a track from his Pass It On CD. Then we feature a brand new killin’ album by Chucho Valdez and the Afro-Cuban Messengers. Dig Chucho’s fine arrangements here. His latin roots never overshadow his obvious love of the jazz form. On the two tracks we play are tributes to Joe Zawinul and the Marsalis Family. Another fine album by Skye Steele was featured last week, and we play another stunning track from his album late bloomer.

This special podcast is from a live recording at WHUS studios with some of Hartford’s finest young musicians. Recent graduate of University of Hartford’s Hartt School of Music, Dane Scozzari leads the band on the drums with several of his arrangements and compositions. Another Hartt graduate from the class of ‘10 is accomplished pianist Matt DeChamplain demonstrating his killer chops on the keys. Sophomore at Hartt, Matt Dwonszyk plays well beyond his years on the double bass, really holding down the bottom. Just graduating from the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts are Lomar Brown (entering his freshman year at Berklee College of Music) on alto sax and brother Keaon Brown (will be attending Temple University) on trumpet.
Dangerous Dane and the Human Race performs excerpts from 2010: Profile of Humanity as well as other jazz classics.

This year’s Newport review features artist that we saw, both relatively unknown and some of the greats that appeared at the festival. The lineup was once again diverse. There were performances in the smaller tents that stretched the boundaries of the genre and there were artists that are living legends of jazz. We will hear from a sampling from both catagories. JD Allen, Matt Wilson and Skye Steele represent the direction jazz is headed. Wynton Marsalis, Chick Corea and Ahmad Jamal had great performances playing in more of the traditional style.

At Newport this week covering the Jazz Festival so I didn’t record a show. This podcast is the final 40 minutes of the Groove show from a few weeks back. It features Miles’ classic So What. It doesn’t matter how many times I hear this, it never looses it’s appeal. Also, dig Cedar Walton’s Bolivia. Some modern off-beat sounds from Burnt Sugar, and we finish with a lullaby from Anat Cohen.

We are really gettin’ our groove on with this podcast. Starting with the godfather of soul, James Brown. That is followed by two jazz greats that brought groove to jazz, Jimmy Smith and Stanley Turrentine. Jimmy McGriff brings us some serious blues groove next. Then we get into some fusion groove with the likes of Al Kooper, Soulive and the great Weather Report.

Unity is the featured album on this weeks podcast. Larry Young took the Hammond B3 organ sound and brought it to another level from the conventional R&B style attributed to Jimmy Smith. Larry Young’s sound is more of a reflection of the freedom that was emerging during the 60’s with Coltrane’s influence on jazz music. Also featured in this show is the tenor sax playing of Jimmy Greene.

This is the second hour of last weeks show. We continue to recap a week of live jazz in New York and Boston. This segment features Noah Preminger who we saw at Scullers jazz club in Boston. Lately Noah has been playing with some heavy hitters like Cecil McBee and Billy Hart. He has more gigs scheduled with these and other cats. If you are in the New York city area I strongly suggest that you check the Jazz calendars and hunt down and attend one of Noah Preminger’s incredible performances. We then revisit from last weeks show more of McCoy Tyner and Ravi Coltrane, finally finishing up the show with a unique sounding vocal choir led by Bobby McFerrin.

You’ll hear all of them plus more on this weeks podcast.
