After a few episodes running this format I decided to quit avoiding the standard classics and run some tunes that are fun to talk about. I had a lot of fun talkiing about Duke Ellington's 1956 Newport performance. Think of this as Jazz 101.
John Coltrane - Blue Train
Duke Ellington & John Coltrane - In a Sentimental Mood
Duke Ellington - Diminuendo in Blue and Crescendo in Blue (live at Newport 1956)
The Horace Silver Quintet - Song For My Father
Miles Davis - Frelon Brun
Dave Brubeck - Take Five
Sonny Rollins - St. Thomas
Charles Mingus - Original Faubus Fables
