This week, we kick off the show with some Philly folks featuring the iconic saxophonist Sam Reed and B-3 Funkster Charles Earland. The music of Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder will follow set in a jazz context from artists such as Milt Jackson, Joe Henderson, Charles Kynard, Jackie Byard and Vijay Iyer. Celebrating the release of Fay Victor's Herbie Nichols Sung album, we will compare original Nichols recordings to vocal interpretations. The show will wind down with a vocal tangent and wrap up with works featuring pianist Mara Sanchez.
