Charlie Parker Tribute
Yesterday would have been the 88th birthday of Charlie "Bird" Parker. This great alto player is often considered the founder of Be-Bop music. Before Bird in the 1940's, Jazz was primarily big-band music, dance music that was perhaps the most popular genre of it's time. Bird featured a hard driving quartet and quintet format with an emphasis on improvisation, freeing the soloist to stretch out. As I listen to the 2 Bird originals on this set, each under 3 minutes, it amazes me how much music is p...

Heard only here
This show will start out with a set of tracks that can only be heard on In The Groove.

Â After listeneing to those tunes, I've got a few tunes I had queued up from last weeks show, but never got to play, from Empirical and Esperanza Spaulding.

Newport Jazz Part 2
Last Sunday I attended the Newport Jazz Festival for first time. It was an incredible experience. Three stages, with jazz artists performing simultaneously throughout the day. This show features those artists that we got the chance to see at the Festival. They run the gamut from jazz legends, Herbie Hancock and Sonny Rollins to newcomers Esperanza Spaulding and Lionel Loueke. Perhaps that best performance for me was the Chris Potter Underground. The amazing tenor sax player was seen all day play...

Something Old, Something New (reprise)
Due to a technical problem, my August 2 show was not recorded (like I forgot to hit the Start button on the CD-R). So, I resurrected a recording of an old show, that I thought was interesting. This is the first hour of a show that was originally broadcast in July of 2006. I may post the second hour of the show in the near future. Another eclectic mix of old and new. Starting off with an old classic from the 70's from Les McCann (Dig the relevant lyrics), to new releases from Joey DeFrancesco. W...

Brazil to Bop
This show starts with music inspired by brazilian jazz artists Flora and Airto. These musicians helped introduce me to jazz and world music back in the 70's. It was fun to meet Airto at Dizzy's club in NYC on Friday. We also pay tribute to three fallen jazz cats that passed on this week. Guitarists Joe Beck, Hiram Bullock, and tenor player Johnny Griffen. Griffen and Booker Ervin take us out, boppin' hard. Playlist Track * Artist * Album San Fransico River * Flora * Perpetual Emotion Parana * A...

Jazz Note Blog
a href="http://jazznotesdp.blogspot.com/">Jazz Note SDP is a blog devoted primarily to hard bop and especially the body of music produced between the early 50's and the mid-60's. At the center of it all is Miles Davis. This blog is especially aimed at readers who want to build a serious jazz library. I have been invited to contribute to this fine web site, and have done so with an occasional few posts, but most of the content is by its creator friend and supporter of this podcast, Ken Blanchard....

2nd hour of show
We were out of town for the 4th of July weekend, so it gives me an opportunity to make a podcast of the second hour of the show. For those many listeners of the show that have asked me to podcast the entire show, combine this with the last podcast, and there you have it. There are some great Tenor players represented here, including Eric Alexander, Marcus Strickland, Tim Armacost, Ravi Coltrane, and the master himself, John Coltrane. We also have a beautiful ballad with Miles on muted trumpet. ...

Tribute to G.C.
This show is a tribute to George Carlin who passed away on June 22. Carlin was a genius with words and an innovator in the comedy genre. As one who always stood for his convictions, and would seek the 'line drawn' and cross it for the purpose of advancing his art. Sandwiched between some of Carlins most famous bits are some great jazz tunes. What a hip combination; George Carlin and Jazz!Playlists and more music are available at: In The Groove Website. ...

New Guitar and Beyond
Some great new releases from guitar bands, both new and old. It's always exciting for me to unwrap new releases from John McLaughlin and Mike Stern. Rich Goldstien is one of Hartford area's best guitarists that can groove in the style of Wes Montgomery. McLaughlin's new CD Floating Point proves that we all can get along when Eastern culture meets the Western fusion for a new creative musical sound. Also threw in Bonerama, a powerful musical force featuring 4 trombones, tuba, guitar and drums wi...

Jazz-Latin
Maybe I should be calling this show Latin-Jazz, but to me this is Jazz, performed by musicians surrounded by Latin culture and influences. I am not an expert in latin music by any means. In the 70's, Carlos Santana introduced the Latin sound to rock fans. Gato Barbieri was fusing jazz music with his Argentinan latin roots. More recently Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache band began playing jazz standards and originals with distinct latin arrangements. New artists like Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and Insi...

New Sounds of Jazz
This show features the modern sounds of jazz music. These musicians are grounded in the tradition of be-bop and jazz, but have fused their sound with electronics, sampling and funky rhythms. They have pushed the envelope beyond traditional jazz forms as the great ones like Miles and Trane have in the past. This is the future of the Jazz idiom.

Hartford-NYC Connection
Many of our local Jazz artists have made the leap to playing in prestigious New York City venues. Some have moved there in hopes of pursuing the dream of making a steady living, and playing jazz with the greats. This show is all about that Hartford area connection to the City. We are indeed lucky to be only a couple hours train ride and cab fare to places like the Village Vanguard, Jazz Standard, Blue Note Cafe and more. There are also many jazz mentors to give these kids their big break in the ...

What I've been listening to
Just some music I've been listening to. Another couple of days hitting the jazz clubs in NYC this week. Got to see some great acts such as Steve Turre, EJ Strickland and others.

Radiothon has ended, so we'll go back to just playing jazz. This week was the final push for donations to WHUS, and with the support of our podcast listeners, this show met its fundraising goals. I've edited out most of the pleas for donations, so there are some abrupt edits in my mic breaks. As for the music, there is a wide variety of jazz styles represented here. A couple of albums of note are Frain/Dunlop and a new release from Bobby Watson. I really dig both of these CD's and you will be he...

The Hartford area jazz scene has become a beautiful thing to behold. Last night's event at Firehouse 12 in New Haven with the Dezron Douglas Quintet is a testament to that fact. These great artists that we have been following for years, have grown from kids learning the craft of jazz music to accomplished performers, leaders and mentors to a new crop of jazz students.
