This week we continue with our Random Acts of Roach in celebration of the centennial of the birth of the legendary Max Roach; we'll also visit two piano trio sets anchored by bassist Charlie Haden, three bits of Basie, and a set of Dizzy Gillespie & Lalo Schifrin works. New and recent releases and gems from past will round out the show. Old, new, in, out... wherever the music takes us. Each week, we will explore the elements of jazz from a historical perspective.
