Dizzy, Eri Yamamoto, Cecil Payne

This week, we'll check in with some late '60s, early '70s Dizzy Gillespie, then a set of new quartet and solo works from pianist Eri Yamamoto. Two new works from Blue Note records follow with an archival release pairing McCoy Tyner and Joe Henderson live at Slugs Saloon 1966 followed new music by the all-star collective Out of/Info. A survey of piano styles follows with Earl Hines, Fred Hersch and Dorothy Donegan. Next, we celebrate the birthday of baritone saxophonist Cecil Payne with some of his collaborations with Dinah Washington, Tadd Dameron, John Coltrane and Randy Weston; a set of early and late period Shirley Scott albums I recently picked up will follow, and much more.
