March birthdays this week on G&M! And some big ones too! Celebrating 90th birthdays: Ornette Coleman, Blue Mitchell and Tommy Flanagan. Celebrating 80th birthdays: Al Jarreau as well as Lew Tabackin, Ralph Towner and Wolfgang Muthspiel, Jessica Williams and Ralph Alessi. And, wherever you are: Michael Brecker, Mark Murphy and Sarah Vaughan. If you're hunkered down for the duration, remember we have over 50 shows of G&M archived on All About Jazz, so you've got a friend here to help you through the storm with no social distancing necessary. Enjoy the music and don't hesitate to write. Thanks to our listeners of the week in Kiev (Ukraine), Chicago (US), Athens (Greece) and Tokyo (Japan).
