First up, Sonny Rollins our man in jazz, a live free-form date recorded 63 years ago this week at the Village Gate, NYC; from there, we move into a summer set of sounds from the NY Catskill mountains via the 50s Latin jazz craze with Johnny Conquet and his Orchestra, vocalists Ruth Wallis and Abbe Lane followed by Machito & His Afro-Cubans and Tito Puente His Orchestra. Then, we continue celebrating Anthony Braxton's 80th birthday year with works showcasing his diverse musical interests from Charlie Parker to big band arrangements; new and recent releases will round out the show featuring James Brandon Lewis, Sumi Tonooka, Caelan Cardello, Myra Melford, Lakecia Benjamin, and Dee Dee Bridgewater with Bill Charlap.
