Zakir Hussain, Billy Mohler & Random Pickin’s
Click the play button to listen
This is the second 3-hour holiday joint with music selected from newer releases back to some archival stuff and lots in between. Sampled new releases include music from bassist Billy Mohler and a new quartet featuring guitarist Jeff Parker, Italy's BSDE 4tet, Finnish pianist Joona Toivanen's trio, and some archival music from Minneapolis/Los Angeles bassist and radio host Richard Paske. There's also a humble tribute to the recently passed tabla master and huge musical influence, Zakir Hussain. I've had the pleasure of hearing him in so many different musical situations, but I also got to witness a live performance by Zakir and his Rhythm Experience, a magical night that has stayed with me forever. Thank you, Zakir! Best wishes to all from One Man's Jazz for a safe and healthy 2025. Keep a hard hat handy!Playlist
