This is the third episode where I play some top album’s on the current jazz charts as compiled by JazzWeek.
I start out with Chick Corea playing Chopin, and describe how Chopin may have been a ‘forerunner’ of modern jazz. Other great artist’s from whose albums I play a track are The Jeff Hamilton Trio, Bobby Watson, Diego Figueredo, Jose Rizo’s Mongorama, Maceo Parker, and John Fedchock NY Quintet.
And for some strange reason I also play a track from a 2016 recording by Toronto fusion group, Manteca. It seems like six radio stations suddenly added it to their play list this past month.
But the highlight for me is a pianist and composer named Billy Childs. I play two tracks from his current album, Acceptance, on the Mack Avenue label.
