Tribute to George Carlin

Tonight's show is in tribute and memory of George Carlin, who passed away on June 22. Carlin was a genius with words and an innovator in the comedy genre. As one who always stood for his convictions, and would seek the 'line drawn' and cross it for the purpose of advancing his art. Sandwiched between some of Carlins most famous bits are some great jazz tunes. What a hip combination; George Carlin and Jazz!

Primo Piano

Tonight's broadcast features some great new piano jazz. Its not your typical piano set. The sound is new and modern. Other than Chick, you may not have heard these artists before. One of the goals of this show is  to introduce new or little known jazz artists to our listening community. We also pay tribute to Esbjorn Svensson the anchor of E.S.T., who passed away in a tragic scuba diving accident this week.

New Guitar and Beyond

Some great new releases from guitar bands, both new and old. It's always exciting for me to unwrap new releases from John McLaughlin and Mike Stern. Rich Goldstien is one of Hartford area's best guitarists that can groove in the style of Wes Montgomery. McLaughlin's new CD Floating Point proves that we all can get along when Eastern culture meets the Western fusion for a new creative musical sound. Also threw in Bonerama, a powerful musical force featuring 4 trombones, tuba, guitar and drums with a New Orleans funky sound all their own.
