This week’s episode – as I’d listened back to it before I posted it – may be one of my favorites I’ve ever presented to you. It’s mostly jazz – very little big band, not much real Broadway – but, loaded with great performances – some of them are live, too.

If you listen to this show this week, you’ll hear:

  • Helen Merrill
  • Coltrane doing a 22 minute live version of ‘My Favorite Things’ in a small club in Lower Manhattan in 1965. STUNNING!
  • A tribute to some great jazz guitarists in Les Paul, Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Grant Green & Chet Atkins.
  • Nat Cole & Johnny Hartman, per usual.
  • Nina Simone
  • Oscar Peterson
  • Sarah Vaughan
  • Bill Eckstine
  • Bobby Darin
  • Miles Davis
  • Cannonball Adderly
  • Coleman Hawkins & Ben Webster – The former solo & the duo together, separately.
  • A trio of Chet Baker & Van Morrison songs
  • I close with Van Morrison singing & Chet Baker playing ‘Send In The Clowns’ together.  Also, STUNNING!

Enjoy!
