This show is all about songs – jazz & standards – that are all at least 7 minutes long & no longer than 7:59.

While this was intended to be an “easy” show to produce & record – which it was – it also comes in just under 3 hours.  That’s what happens when you play twenty 7 minute songs, I s’pose!

ENJOY!

This week’s episode is a return to form – after a month of fun & games with this show.  I appreciate you indulging me with this over the last bit, but with the end of summer comes the end of fun & games…right? 🙂

Anyway, do enjoy this tour de force of swing, standards & Sondheim.

Given this weekend’s heat,  I can’t think of a better way to cool down than some great tunes, a dip in the water & a great cocktail.

This show provides the first former, you’re on your own for the latter two.

Enjoy!

This week’s show is again a pretty strong, barnstormer of a show.

That said, it also includes a tribute to Jeff Buckley – as he passed 18 years ago yesterday, May 29th.

Enjoy!

As you may know by the time you read this that B.B. King passed away Thursday evening in Las Vegas around 9:40pm local time on May 14th, 2015.  A combination of a small bout of insomnia & a desire to deliver a fresh show in partial tribute to this legend, I decided to work overnight to put that together.

The first or so hour is all B.B. King.  The second hour is music that would have inspired B.B & almost any blues musician.

I hope you enjoy this small detour & devotion to a master.

May the Mississippi keep flowing…
