Hey! This week’s episode of selected downloads are even better than last week’s. At least it felt that way as I was listening to this latest episode.

I start it off with a gorgeous version of Autumn Leaves with Laila Biali and a host of some of Toronto’s best players. And I finish it off with another pianist–Russian born Eldar Djangirov…who is described as “blisteringly electric one moment, tender and thoughtful the next”. Between those two you’ll hear Jeff Parker and The New Breed, Joe Pass & accordionist Tommy Gumina,

Then there is the amazing bassist Sam Jones playing with Joe Zawinul and a touch of Cannonball Adderley. And we can’t forget the powerful and emotion-packed voice of Brazil’s Elza Soares. Also some of one of the latest hot pianists playing a tune written in 1919—Emmet Cohen. And Jeff Goldblum.

Two more Canadians too, One is Nancy Ruth who now lives in Spain, and the other is Peterborough’s #1 piano player, Rob Phillips with some great clarinet from Kevin Goss.
