Lighten up!

Last few weeks, we have played some serious hard-bop jazz. This week we'll lighten it up with a great new (posthumous) release by the Genuis, Ray Charles featurning some great arrangements from the Count Basie Orchestra. Following that will be a rockin' fusion set of new releases from Bob Reynolds, Mike Stern and Christian McBride. Than back to some serious jazz with a great new CD from Alto saxist Kenny Garrett with featuring Pharoah Sanders on tenor. We have had a rainy weekend here in Connecticut, and the show will close with one of my favorite Trane ballads, appropriately titled After the Rain.
