Marcus Miller- THE SON DON’T LIE; Ted Nash – STILL EVOLVED; Jonathan Finlayson – MOMENT AND THE MESSAGE; Maddie Vogler – WHILE WE HAVE TIME.2024-10-231h 25

Jazz Bastard PodcastJazz Bastard Podcast 273 - Big M's Grab BagThe theme this episode is - got ya! - there isn't a theme. What we do have are two mildly historical piano-led recordings by musicians who couldn't be more different if they tried, and two new releases by musicians also pulling in different directions. Get a large group together and go for eclecticism? Or just multi-track yourself and add a duet partner to the mix? You, dear listeners, can pick the approach you like.

4700 Liberty Heights Avenue [EXCERPT]
by Aaron Henkin & Wendel Patrick (Out of the Blocks, WYPR, 2015)
The 4700 block of Liberty Heights Avenue is a portrait of survival and adaptability. It's a self-governed, informal economy where the currency is respect. Space is shared by merchants, churches, longtime residents, and drug dealers. Immigrants from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, West Africa, and Korea have set up shops alongside a dwindling number of African American-owned businesses. Trust is earned here, not given lightly.
