This week’s show starts off with a 3-track salute to one of the godfathers of blues, jazz & rock in Big Joe Turner – you’ll even hear a solid quotation from Fletcher Henderson in one of “Big Joe’s” numbers.
The rest of the show is a solid smattering of standard, bop & jazz – plus a ‘Broadway Bit’ that includes a young Jerry Orbach.
