WHUS - IN THE GROOVENew sounds of jazz
This show features the modern sounds of jazz music. These musicians are grounded in the tradition of be-bop and jazz, but have fused their sound with electronics, sampling and funky rhythms. They have pushed the envelope beyond traditional jazz forms as the great ones like Miles and Trane have in the past. This is the future of the Jazz idiom.

Great stuff today (all around)...
I love Dave Douglas' bandleader groups. And on a non-band leader side of things, do you have any Masada? It's John Zorn klez-jazz compositions with Dave on trumpet, Joey Baron on drums, and Greg Cohen on bass.
Oh, and thanks for the John Ellis. I'd never heard of him, and I totally dig that track...
Nope, can't say I've heard of Masada. I'll look into that. My favorite DD album is Freak-In. As for Ellis, I played from his most recent CD, but I really like an earlier effort By A Thread. Maybe I'll play something from that next week.
Masada's first 10 studio albums (from the early-to-mid '90s) are out-of-print (on Japanese AVANT), but the live stuff, and some fresh new incarnations of the Masada book of songs are available on John Zorn's Tzadik records... and iTunes.
Do you have an iTunes account? If so, I'll "gift" you a few tunes... if it's the lasternet account, let me know and I'll hook you up. :-)

Oh, I will add... I am not affiliated with John Zorn, Tzadik, Dave Douglas, or anything like that... I'm an accountant from Oregon. I just love good jazz (as I know you do, too)... :-)

Great selection, Ken. As alaways, of course, but I especially like that you have no problem in trying to look up and present some other sounds than what you normally would do.
I did not like everything, but that's the pint: how can I learn to appreciate new styles if I don't try?
I especially liked the "funky" songs. If ever you need an idea for a show theme, I'd like to suggest "funky jazz".
thanks again,
Bruno from Belgium
I've done a Funky jazz show, but its been a long time. Maybe its time to do one again.
