This week, we "Say a Little Prayer" for Burt Bacharach (RIP) with songs performed by Cecile McLorin Salvant, Anthony Braxton and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. A soulful set of Sonny Stitt leads us into a birthday shout out to band leader Chick Webb. Things get spicy with The Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis Cookbook Vols 1-3 featuring Philly's Queen of the Organ, Shirley Scott. The evening wraps up with recent releases from James Brandon Lewis and the Messthetics, Dave Rempis' Earscratcher, and more.
