Jazz A Love Affair 194.

Here is the play list for this weeks "Jazz A Love Affair" Part 2, of this weeks show is very interesting for me, as one of my very early hero's Joe Harriott would have had a birthday this week, born on 15th July 1928 and only live to be 44 years old. So in just over twenty years in the UK he made himself a jazz legend and died a very sad man. I also celebrate the birthdays of Hank Mobley, Henry Lowther and Joe Zawinal, so should be a good show.
