Min­i­mal, frag­ment­ed and with a lot of open space we begin, a pre­mière bassist of our day Chris­t­ian McBride. Next is not a tricky new jazz com­po­si­tion, but the musi­cians play­ing words in uni­ty led by pianist Yele­na Eck­e­moff, the first of two med­i­ta­tion pieces, the oth­er by the great John Coltrane. For a total reboot and reset we call on Char­lie Chris­t­ian and Ben­ny Good­man, Anto­nio Hart solos with Alto Sum­mit and we con­tin­ue our trib­ute to the late trum­peter Roy Har­grove. Liz Wright adds feel­ing to her soul as does JD McPher­son if the world calls it a dif­fer­ent genre. Big band starts hour # 2, Detroits Scott Gwin­nell. Two in medi­um Latin tem­po are played by Char­lie Palmieri and Chu­cho Valdez respec­tive­ly, more piano with the Iron Man, Harold Mabern. For blues of all col­ors we turn to Steve Tur­res trom­bone, Car­los John­sons take on Jim­my Reed, and George Rus­sells Liv­ing Time Orches­tra makes a com­po­si­tion out of a Miles Davis trum­pet solo. A reminder to wrap, Its You of No One by Long Tall Dex, as in Gor­don. Jazz is a lens thru which we view the hol­i­days, Hack­saw Jazz.
