I want to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone who sent so many positive messages. There is a lot of new product out right now and I feel blessed that I get to celebrate all the brilliant playing with everyone this week. I know there is something for everyone in this week’s show.
In the unearthed gem category, we dipped into the vault and pulled out Sonny Rollins’ “Come, Gone,” off the Way Out West album. In the new discoveries category, this week Louis Dowdeswell Big Band was a huge hit. We featured a cut off his latest album High Score, “The Incredibles Suite.” In theaters right now, Incredibles 2 is reviving the fervent following of everyone’s favorite super hero family, so we thought we would carry that same spirit over to the playlist this week. Let’s dig in and thank you again for supporting Modern Jazz Today and all the wonderful artists and radio stations that make this show possible.
