A light schedule of Blue Note 50th anniversaries this month: Hank Mobley's The Flip. But we missed a Thad Jones, Mel Lewis Orchestra recording (originally on Solid State but reissued on Blue Note) last month due to an error in our working discography. So, we feature album that as well. To celebrate Blue Note's 80th anniversary, we feature BN-11 from the Pete Johnson Blues Trio.

The American Pianists Association held their jazz competition this spring, and we have two recent winners for you. And in addition, of course, 21st century music from drummers Herlin Riley and Jeff Ballard, bassists Ben Allison and Iris Ornig, and guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel. Cannonball Adderley provides the lagniappe. Enjoy the show.

Thanks to our top listeners of the week in: Loberia (Argentina), Kitamoto (Japan), Koln (Germany) & Baton Rouge (US).
