Along with some great music, I explore some of the difference between jazz titles that are "programmatic" vs those that are more "impressionistic". And then there are those that seem to have nothing to do with the actual music.

Compositions I play this week include Well You Needn't (Monk), Original Faubus Fables (Mingus), Lester Lopes In (Allen Lowe), Disco Inferred (Chas Smith), Unconscious (Sandro Dominelli), and Daybreak/Sunbeam (Stu Goldberg),

And then there's a fascinating incident where two of Miles Davis's most popular tunes on his most popular album just might have been mixed up, title wise. If there is anybody out there who has access to Oxford Academic's Musical Quarterly Volume 95 Issue 1, Spring 2012 and an article called "The Naming of Names: Flamenco Sketches or All Blues", l'd love it if you could send it to me. Or at least clue me in on why Boston University music professor, Jeremy Yudkin, thought that those titles were reversed, and that 'Flamenco Sketches' is the correct name for the tune we know as 'All Blues", and that 'All Blues' is the correct title for the last track that we know as 'Flamenco Sketches'.
