Andy's Jazz Show Updates

I  have a slightly sheepish look at the moment (some will say that's a standard look for a Kiwi, albeit an adopted one) as I'm in Western Australia and my main computer with show info is back home in NZ. I have very limited internet here and will attempt to download the show and work backwards so to speak, if that's not possible,I'll update at the end of my roster in 2 weeks.

Cheers Andy

Andy's Jazz Show #205

 

 

This is the current show another 2 hours of great jazz including some classic 70's/ 80's Jazz Funk restored to a listenable quality from Don Latarski, Lee Ritenour, Kazumi Watanabe and Jay Hoggard. The 3Play features The Elvin Jones Special Quartet performing A Love Supreme in 3 parts, always hard to compare different instruments performing classics but Wynton Marsalis does a great job on this album. I hope you enjoy it and you can download it here

Ronny Jordan RIP

 

Wow! Just blown away only just found out today courtesy of Jazzwise magazine.

I suppose that's one of the hazards of working miles from home with limited communications.

A fantastic artist that opened the eyes and ears of a whole new generation to jazz.

Tribute show to follow RIP Ronny Jordan.
