That Mem­phis man gone to New York, Harold Mabern, opens our remote broad­cast from a local eatery, we nego­ti­ate thru Cana­di­an bassist Dave Young thru Eddie Clean­head Vin­son and Bob­by Blue Bland as our blue men before a cou­ple co-hosts join the broad­cast. With a music direc­tor well hear JJ John­son’s trom­bone, Irene Kralls voice, and with an anchor keep­ing things togeth­er a plug for some of our radio sta­tions and/​or a few radio triv­ia notes along the way. Just a hint at Christ­mas is the per­cus­sion with Man­fre­do Fests piano, Mary Stallings is sassy with her voice, Oscar Peter­son is prodi­gious on piano and John Fed­chock keeps the trom­bones tromp­ing. For our sec­ond hours vari­ety enjoy Jazz at Lin­coln Cen­ter, Wyn­ton Marsalis and Ruben Blades as quite the com­bi­na­tion. Wyn­ton Kel­ly goes on tour to play piano with Miles Davis and John Coltrane, a brief oldie from pianist Gene Har­ris then Pete Escovedo joins Clau­dio Medeiros. A new release is played by the Human­i­ty Quar­tet, Brazil­ian Oscar Cas­tro Neves wel­comes Paul Win­ters sopra­no sax, and Oscar Peter­son returns for an encore, pro­vid­ing a night­cap to a most spec­tac­u­lar jazz social. Whether swing­ing with sal­sa, or boo­gieing with bop, we are bear­ers of blues, Hack­saw Jazz.
