To start off the 2021-2022 season of Discovering Jazz, I thought I’d play some familiar (and a few not so familiar) tunes from my lp collection. I play a few ‘regulars’ whose music has appeared on this program over the years: Don Shirley, Vince Guaraldi, Sounds Orchestral (Johnny Pearson), Fraser MacPherson, Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett & Bill Evans, and Bob Dorough. You’ll aso hear cuts from albums by Eddie Cano, Franco D’Andrea, Mel Torme with Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass, Buddy DeFranco and Tommy Gumina, and Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66.

I have lots more lp’s that I want to revisit. I look forward to playing them on future programs. But next week I’m going to dip into my cd’s.
