James Brandon Lewis, Kenny Drew, Satoko Fujii, Julian Lage

Click the play button to listen

We kick off the show with some works that blur the lines of genre from James Brandon Lewis, Mary Halvorson and the Chicago Underground Duo; move into a set of late '50s recordings by pianist Kenny Drew, and then take off in all directions from there: piano trios from Satoko Fujii, Marc Copland and Matthew Shipp; birthday tributes to Sarah Vaughn (100!), Ben Webster, Pee Wee Russell and Orrin Evans; and wrap up with a set of works featuring guitarist Julian Lage. 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.
