Click the play button to listen

This week, jazz suites. Extended works made up of movements held together by a theme be it musical or conceptual. We will hear suites form Herbie Hancock, Duke Ellington, Miho Hazama, John Coltrane, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Then some sweet stuff to top off the show. 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.
