This show is all about songs – jazz & standards – that are all at least 7 minutes long & no longer than 7:59.
While this was intended to be an “easy” show to produce & record – which it was – it also comes in just under 3 hours. That’s what happens when you play twenty 7 minute songs, I s’pose!

As you may know by the time you read this that B.B. King passed away Thursday evening in Las Vegas around 9:40pm local time on May 14th, 2015. A combination of a small bout of insomnia & a desire to deliver a fresh show in partial tribute to this legend, I decided to work overnight to put that together.
The first or so hour is all B.B. King. The second hour is music that would have inspired B.B & almost any blues musician.
I hope you enjoy this small detour & devotion to a master.
May the Mississippi keep flowing…
The playlist is as follows:
- B.B. King
- B.B. King & Bobby Bland
- T-Bone Walker
