Tonight, we are looking at classic and contemporary "meet ups" between two soloists, or a soloist and group. "Mulligan Meets Hodges," "Basie & Zoot," "Roy and Diz," "Hargrove meets Miller," and many more. The show continues with a set of tributes to and works by Wayne Shorter form Melissa Aldana, Steph Richards, Thumbscrew and Kris Dais. Welcome friends and neighbors to The Jazz Continuum. Old, new, in, out... wherever the music takes us. Each week, we will explore the elements of jazz from a historical perspective.
