Be-Bop Django and a Whole Lot More

A show for you? Of course. We start with twenty-first century music from pianist Andy Adamson, trumpeter Farnell Newton, saxophonist Troy Roberts, and guitarist Jocelyn Gould. Not enough guitar? Well, Joe Pass plays Django Reinhardt, and then Django plays bebop from his last recording session before his death—quite a revelation if the only Django you've heard is his 'Hot Club Swing.' We celebrate the centennials of Dave Brubeck (duets with Paul Desmond) and Carmen McRae (with strings). Then it's off to the Vanguard in NYC with essential recordings for our continuing chronological Sonny Rollins celebration. Along the way, Keith Jarrett, Paul Desmond, Ben Webster and Shirley Horn. Enjoy the show. Listener favorites next week.
