Younger men grow older.

Business as usual Wednesday night after last week's mad collaboration with Tom Casetta.  Got a new one from singers Nicole Wray & Terri Walker on their transcendent new release on Truth & Soul simply called Lady.  Plus, more from Charles Bradley and Nicole Willis' new LPs, sweetness from Kev Beadle's new jazz dance compilation and another from the newest entry in Jazzman's Spiritual Jazz series, this time featuring Grachan Moncur!  And sadly, we'll pay tribute to the recently departed Richie Havens.  Be there, peoples.

Jazz burners.

Come dig some jazz burners Wednesday night at the Mt.

Donald Byrd...word.

American jazz trumpeter & music innovator Donald Byrd passed away in early February.  Got a two hour tribute, checking out his inventive early 60's stuff and then focusing on his funky side...even his imprint on hiphop.  See you Wednesday.
