Today we will bookend the show with new releases from Hiromi, Ambrose Akinmusire, Fred Hersch, Dan Weiss, and Duke Ellington . In between, a summer selection of recordings originating from the Newport Jazz Festival between 1956 and 1969. Artists for this set will include Duke Ellington, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Dizzy Gillespie, Teddy Wilson, The Sextet, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and Miles Davis. 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.
