It's $6 million dollars worth of Freedom Jazz Dance--modern jazz from bebop to freebop and beyond--this Sunday on 90.1 FM WDCE www.wdce.org, live from the beautiful campus of the University of Richmond.
This week on FJD, I'll be featuring selections from Hammond B-3 soul jazz legend Richard “Groove" Holmes, an early record from advanced improv outfit Oregon, a new Bennie Maupin Quartet CD and the brilliant fretwork of Barney Kessel. Feel free to call in at 804-289-UR90 to give your trash-or-treasure vote during my notorious Records From Aunt Ruth segment and compare jazz compositions during the FJD exclusive Two Of A Kind segment.
Check out the latest FJD show, playlists and record covers freedomjazzdance's website. To listen, just click on the radio blog file. While you're there, drop me a message. I'd love to hear your take on new releases, cool gigs and your favorite players. Sorry, due to technical difficulties, there was no Records From Aunt Ruth segment this past week, but there's plenty of fearless jazz to be heard along with two knock-out Two Of A Kind entries.
