Tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander appeared in Baton Rouge Tuesday, November 19th @ the Manship Theatre, downtown Baton Rouge. So we warmed you up for his visit with his trio and quartet work, as well as a sideman with Mike LeDonne on the B-3 and pianist Junior Mance (knee deep in the blues). There's also our last centennial feature for Lennie Tristano with Lee Konitz from 1949, a bit of Ellingtonia (new Bill Frisell and Rodney Whitaker as well as Duke in a trio format from the 50s), and the very first 1936 recordings of pianist Nat King Cole from the Resonance box set that just came out earlier this month.

Along the way, Eric Siereveld's Organic Quintet, Joe Henderson, George Cables and Dexter Gordon with Johnny Griffin. Enjoy the show. Thanks to our top listeners of the week in Strasbourg (France), London (UK), Chicago & Baton Rouge (US), and Saitama (Japan)!
