Today is an exploration of my own jazz roots, a continuation of episode 100 where I first introduced you to some tunes that influenced me to discover more about this interesting musical genre.

Most of those ‘root’s are old ones. But I’m also growing new roots….as I keep ‘discovering’ new music. The newer jazz roots include Amy Winehouse and Canadian guitarist Mike Rud.

You’ll also hear recordings by Tony Bennett, Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd, Buddy Greco, The Memphis Jug Band, Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Bill Evans, Ray Charles, The Viscounts, Jimmy Forrest, Andrew Hill, and The Don Shirley Trio.
