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.

It’s an ironic title, considering I didn’t play any of the many versions of Summertime that I own.

But, with Memorial Day Weekend upon us here in the States, it is the unofficial kickoff of Summertime…

This week’s show is all up-tempo music dedicated to making you feel good!  Perfect for a BBQ, block party or a top-down drive around town!

Enjoy!

This week’s show is something of a first for me, I bring you more Latin jazz than I ever have before.  With all this cold weather, I needed to spice things up a bit.  That said, we open with a trio of Hammond B-3 organ tunes from three legends of the form.

I also feature the “hits” from ‘West Side Story’ in keeping with the Latin flare…
