April 15, 2024

There were only six tracks played in today's BTT show but they were six mighty tracks. Well, maybe not all were "mighty" but they all were good food for the ears and brain. A few words on some of them:

"The magnificent 7" by Kamasi Washington, from the epic album, The epic. I haven't played anything from this record for a while but it's always a good one to return to. This was a fine tune with which to start the program.

"Nightclub jitters" by The Replacements. Post-punks do lounge jazz, just once.

"Five banana" by Carla Bley. An all-time fave of mine. I haven't put it on air for many years so it was due an outing.

"Leo" by Alice Coltrane. From a recently-released 1971 concert at Carnegie Hall. Crazy stuff.

You can take in all of these and more here.

BTT returns, as usual, in a week, on Monday, April 22, from 10 to 11 am MT, at cjsw.com or 90.9 FM.

Thanks.

Andrew
