This set begins with a celebration of Sonny Rollins 93 birthday. Sonny is among the last of the living legends of jazz from the 1950’s.

This week’s episode honors a recently released biopic on Wayne Shorter entitled Zero Gravity.

This episode is titled for a recording found through jazztodon.com .  Oliver Nelson (of Blues and the Abstract Truth fame), recorded Skull Session in 1975.

I am away from the home studio, so I am replaying a show from this time last year. A wide variety of jazz styles featured in this podcast episode.

This episode begins with percussionist Airto for his 82nd Birthday. That is followed by a couple of tracks featuring the harp, a beautiful sound for jazz.

As we did last week, we start with Sonny Rollins playing with a west coast band from the classic trio album Way Out West.

Much of today’s show features music from the West Coast Cool movement of the 1950’s.

A very eclectic playlist for today’s show. We start with a rockin’ Miles, brooding Tomasz, and an experimental Noah Preminger.

We hear from some of the great masters of this genre; Tyner, Farrell, Monk, Trane and Shorter as well as some young lions with a modern sound; Simon, Sorey and Kornhauser.

Baseball and jazz are two uniquely American art forms that have a long and intertwined history.
