2015 Jazzcast – with 2015 music

Hello and welcome to one of my midweek podcasts. This is a jazz podcast, and in putting it together, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of new jazz I had purchased this year, so 8 of the 9 songs were released in 2015, and the final song was from 2014.

I feature 3 songs form the Smoke Sessions Label, which started in 2013. I have found all of the music to be outstanding – if there are any Smoke Sesssion albums I have not yet purchased, I probably will get them. They are that good. I mention that there were 4 albums released in 2015 – the 4th was just released this week, which is why I don’t have it yet (it’s the new Vincent Herring album – I already own another CD of his).

So sit back and listen to Harold Mabern, Beppe Di Benedetto, the Sylvain Charrier Tentet, Eddie Henderson, Steve Turre, Jared Gold, Stanton Moore, Chris Lightcap’s Bigmouth, and Kamasi Washington.
