This week’s show starts off with a 3-track salute to one of the godfathers of blues, jazz & rock in Big Joe Turner – you’ll even hear a solid quotation from Fletcher Henderson in one of “Big Joe’s” numbers.

The rest of the show is a solid smattering of standard, bop & jazz – plus a ‘Broadway Bit’ that includes a young Jerry Orbach.

Enjoy!

This week’s episode is spring-like, because it is finally somewhat spring-like here in the Northeast.

So, there’s that.  But, I also bring you a special version of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ blending the Original London Cast album with one of my favorite bands in The Afghan Whigs doing a few covers, too.

Whatever it is you’re celebrating – in my case, just being alive & the wide-scale availability of chocolate! – I wish you nothing but well.

Enjoy!
