Something Old, Something New

Another eclectic mix of old and new. Starting off with an old classic from the 70's from Les McCann (Dig the relevant lyrics), to new releases from Joey DeFrancesco, Liquid Soul, and Dave Douglas. Somewhere in the middle we'll do some Miles from the In A Silent Way and Jack Johnson Complete Sessions sets.

Back to Bop

I have been going off on a jazz/rock fusion, electronic thing for the last couple of weeks... into that beyond region of In the Groove, Jazz and Beyond. Now it is time to settle into a good old Hard-Bop groove. We'll hear from the masters like Cannonball, Trane and Rollins, as well as newer artists such as sax player Chris Potter.

New music

New music - I've gotten lots of new tunes recently. Many have been submitted from great artists, sending their work into In The Groove. Some are new releases from old favorites, and some are re-issues from classic recordings. Everything you will hear on this show are recent additions to this broadcast's library. Another eclectic show of varied forms of jazz.

Indian/Jazz Fusion and Miles Davis Tribute

One of my favorite genre's is Indian/Jazz Fusion. John McLaughlin's Shakti brought this music to the forefront, but many musical artists have adopted this great form of musical expression. The second hour of the show will feature a Miles Davis Tribute to celebrate what would have been Miles 80th birtday (May 26, 1926).
