This week, we start things off with some Afro-Cuban sounds from Bud Powell, Zaccai Curtis and Dizzy Gillespie. Next, a celebration of the birth of pianist Erroll Garner who would have been 103 today. Large band orchestral works from Toshiko Akiyoshi, Jihye Lee and Count Basie will follow before we check out some African sounds from Nduduzo Makhathini and Randy Weston. A set of recordings featuring bassist Reggie Workman will be the next feature, including a date recorded on this day at Philadelphia's Painted Bride Art Center. The show will wrap up playing some Misty for you. Welcome friends and neighbors to The Jazz Continuum. Old, new, in, out... wherever the music takes us. Each week, we will explore the elements of jazz from a historical perspective.Playlist
