Hello, and welcome to another special edition of the podcast – the occasional Jazzcast that I’m posting for you. There’s nothing fancy going on today – no 2015 releases, no 75th anniversaries, just some good jazz music that I’ve been listening to lately.
We start today’s show with Herbie Hancock from his 1962 first solo release Takin’ Off, then move to a 2014 release form trumpeter Tom Harrell before ending with a classic from the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra.
Th next set starts off with some be-bop from Tal Farlow, then Charlie Parker steps in before we end the set with Charlie Haden from 1987 with a boppish tune. The third set has piano players, starting with Carla Bley, then Orrin Evans, Bud Powell and ending with Billy Strayhorn.
The final set is also composed of pianists – Benny Green, Bill Charlap and Herbie Nichols. Great tunes, well played.
