The Jazz Show: Episode #58

Journeying from Bebop to Spiritual, through Cosmic to Free, and covering everything in between, Andy will play the music you need to hear on a Sunday afternoon. Broadcasting on the second Sunday of the month at 4 pm.

Andrew had a picture of his ideal radio show in mind. Many years ago, Donald Fagen wrote a song called The Nightfly. It told the story of a lone-wolf disc jockey passing the night on the fictional WJAZ, which provided “jazz and conversation from the foot of Mount Belzoni.” The album cover showed Fagen doing two things you wouldn’t be permitted to do in a modern radio studio: one is smoking, the other is actually playing records…

Andy will be covering jazz standards as well as a great selection of newer releases.
