The ode to musical styles past and present that introduces Jazz Gumbo in “Music Evolution” by Branford Marsalis and Buckshot Lefonque.
Playlists for all past Sets of Jazz Gumbo will be found at jazzgumbo.blogspot.ca
The featured album cover is for the work of a dear old friend, Gerry Bryant. He’s an artist whose appreciation of jazz and of classical music have always run parallel, and this album features his interpretations of music from both genres. He also leads a band, Pocketwatch, which is referenced in the cover art.
This is a shorter Set, but with a nice blend of new and old. But, I did it again. The Marquis Hill piece was featured on the very last Jazz Gumbo. My gray cells are over-taxed.
Thanks for your listening ears. I hope the Set brings you the same pleasures it brought me.
Thrive!
