This week’s episode – as I’d listened back to it before I posted it – may be one of my favorites I’ve ever presented to you. It’s mostly jazz – very little big band, not much real Broadway – but, loaded with great performances – some of them are live, too.
If you listen to this show this week, you’ll hear:
- Helen Merrill
- Coltrane doing a 22 minute live version of ‘My Favorite Things’ in a small club in Lower Manhattan in 1965. STUNNING!
- A tribute to some great jazz guitarists in Les Paul, Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, Grant Green & Chet Atkins.
- Nat Cole & Johnny Hartman, per usual.
- Nina Simone
- Oscar Peterson
- Sarah Vaughan
- Bill Eckstine
- Bobby Darin
- Miles Davis
- Cannonball Adderly
- Coleman Hawkins & Ben Webster – The former solo & the duo together, separately.
- A trio of Chet Baker & Van Morrison songs
- I close with Van Morrison singing & Chet Baker playing ‘Send In The Clowns’ together. Also, STUNNING!
Enjoy!
