It's time for Blue Note 50th anniversaries. We present material from Andrew Hill with voices and The Three Sounds live in L.A., which was released decades after the actual recording dates. In addition, Jack McDuff recorded with a big band in London, released on LP as To Seek a New Home, but never released on CD and not presently commercially available. The really way-back machine yields Blue Note 19 with Meade Lux Lewis playing blues and boogie on the harpsicord! Along the way, 21st century music from Brad Walker (appeared locally at Chorum Hall on Wednesday, March 11th), Lonnie Smith, Peter Brendler, Marco Pignataro, Vadim Neselovskyi and Ken Fowser; and some golden oldies from Tal Farlow and Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars. Enjoy the show!
