Claire Saves the Day

What does a Jazz DJ do when he suddently comes down with laryngitis before going on air? Lukily for me, my partner in life and music is by my side to save the day. This is Claire's first show and its a killer. Part one is songs from our college years, when together we both discovered the awesomeness of jazz and fusion (and each other). Part 2 is comprised of all brand new releases that just hit WHUS shelves in Studio A. These include Michael Brecker's last CD before his passing this year, and Joe Zawinul's WDR Big Band's new renditions of some of his classic composition. THANK YOU Claire.

Outstanding Altos

Tenor players may be the heavyweights of Jazz saxophone, but the great Alto sax players show some mighty good chops and innovative moves whether be-boppin' or doing some heavy blowing. As always, In the Groove brings you some all time great alto players like Bird, Pepper and Cannonball, along with some lesser known artists that will blow you away.
