Andy's Jazz Show #194

In this show I ask the question do you prefer classic Jeff Lorber or the newer version ? Personally I prefer the older stuff and Soft Space often gets a spin on my deck and a chance to work out my classic Tannoy 609's.Chick Corea and Joe Farrell make this an interesting album. Wizard Island gives Kenneth Gorelick a chance to work out before transforming in Kenny G.
You can leave your opinion below or email me andysjazzshow@gmail.com
The 3play is from Wilbert Longmire and there are plenty of classic tracks to enjoy.
