Click the play button to listen
In this installment of Mondo Jazz we continue exploring music that was inspired by the relentless travels that jazz musicians have to endure in order to share their music with their audiences, their departures and arrivals, their discoveries, adventures and misadventures using trains and planes and the places and the people they encounter as they travel, in space and in time, in the spaceways and in the subways.
