During last month's Blue Note anniversary show we ran out of time. So this week we catch up with a Hank Mobley session for Blue Note from July 31, 1970 (well, that date was 'almost-August' anyway), after opening the show with mostly twenty-first century music. Then, it's on to Grant Green, live in Newark and Wayne Shorter's last twentieth century Blue Note date (and a Weather Report track for icing). We've also got BN-25 from James P. Johnson in our numerical retrospective of Blue Note 78s. In August 1970, Chick Corea did a handful of sessions featuring Anthony Braxton. We hope to have selections from these next week. Sometimes, our acquisition and remastering logistics get complicated. Enjoy the show!
