For Our Fathers

On the eve of Fathers Day, we dedicate this set to our Dads. These are tunes inspired by fathers, or in some cases tunes that bring back recollections of musical experiences with my father. This is a wild mix of latin, hard-bop, R&B, fusion, and even 70's rock from Emerson Lake & Palmer. To Fathers everywhere, I hope you enjoy these tunes on Father's day... Mother's and Daughters too.

Thanks Ken, this is a great compilation. They almost all sound familiar to me, an avid listener of your Podcast, but that's even better: it's great to hear these tracks again. And there's something for all tastes, too.

I listen to your podcast for the exposure. Thanks for flashing some greats my way. I'm listening from Taiwan. What's the best way to get the music you play? What is straight ahead jazz? TIA
