Post-Modern Bop

A sub-genre of jazz as practiced by modern era jazz musicians rooted in the bebop tradition. It draws on many different influences (e.g. latin, classical, soul) that expands the music beyond the traditional be-bop form. This show features some great modern jazz artists. The show is partly inspired by Hartford area musicians, Steve Davis and Jimmy Greene who performed friday evening at the Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz. As usual, you will hear many great modern jazz artitsts both well known and young newcomers on the scene.

Ken,

The set proves bop is alive, well, AND in good hands. This set will be on 'repeat' in the ipod...

I envy you living so close to the music, and being able to hear Steve Davis, Greg Abate, Eric Alexander and company, on a regular basis.

Your show is my first order of business on Mondays.Thanks for the music!
