September offers an opportunity to refocus on our inner energies and start a new cycle with renewed awareness and intentions – basically back to school and beyond… This segment of the show features more songs inspired by this month, with a special focus on five masterpieces that were recorded during a magical couple of weeks in September 1962.

The playlist features Johnnie Taylor; Dakota Staton; Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays; Mats Eilertsen; Coleman Hawkins; Quincy Jones; Duke Ellington; Chico Hamilton; John Coltrane; Gerald Wilson.

Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/16393563/Mondo-Jazz (from "It's September" onward).

Happy listening!
