Field Trip To The Vault!

Click the play button to listen

After a dose of 21st century music from Dave Allen, Pat Metheny and Aziza, we continue to celebrate the life of Sonny Rollins with tracks from his last session for Prestige in 1956. Then it's deep into the vault for two 78rpm recreations from Charlie Parker (on tenor) with Miles & Erroll Garner's trio from the '40s; and classics from Oscar Peterson, Lester Young, Count Basie, Jelly Roll Morton and the New Orleans Rhythm Kings. But the 'crème' are duets with early-jazz trumpeter Bunk Johnson and Bertha Gonsoulin (a student of Jelly Roll Morton and pianist with King Oliver in the early 1920s). Along the way, Grant Green and the Liberty Brass Band. Lock-down with G&M—we have! Enjoy the show.
