Cel­e­brat­ing the life, pianism and com­pos­ing of Mul­grew Miller, we begin with one of his bet­ter-known orig­i­nals, and keep things groov­ing with a new one from tenor sax­o­phon­ist Mike Allan in the main­stream tra­di­tion. Hear the blues sung by a clas­si­cal­ly trained vocal­ist Charles DiRai­mon­do, then an almost sim­i­lar deliv­ery from Ms. Bea­ta Pater singing Fred­die Hub­bard. Joel Ross is busy on his vibra­phone, and Cole­man Hawkins leads the Metronome All-Stars just moments before WW 2. Trum­peter Theo Cro­ker plays off his new album, we hear a bop clas­sic big band style from Chuck Owen, then its the blues: Matt Gui­tar Mur­phy, Jim­my Reed and Coco Mon­toya to wrap hour # 1. Heavy is the music of North­ern Cal­i­for­nia trum­peter Joe Maz­za­fer­ro, and easy is the mood of tenor man Scott Robin­son. For our Afro Cuban fix we turn to the 1940s when jazz soloists Char­lie Park­er and Flip Phillips joined Machi­tos orches­tra, from the same gen­er­a­tion but record­ed in the 1990s comes Chico OFar­rill. The Cook­ers are amaz­ing all-stars in what we call the post-post-bop style, Joe Dokes, a new vocal­ist to us, is a breath of fresh air. Con­tin­u­ing the swing tem­po is bassist Ray Brown with pianist Gene Har­ris. Final­ly we have a siz­able ensem­ble stay­ing true to its artis­tic puri­ty, Joey Sell­ers Jazz Aggre­ga­tion. Ger­mi­nat­ing in the work­shop & in the Groove­yard, Hack­saw Jazz.
