It's a family affair on In The Groove featuring the Allen's, Jen and Kris. We talk about their latest recordings, and Kris's upcoming concert in Hartford CT. Then I put them through the Blindfold Test, for which they score a grade A.

For Mom
Sunday May 12, 2013
Sunday May 12, 2013
This podcast concludes with a tribute to Mother's Day with a moving composition by Sean Jones for Momma. Before we hear that one, Mirislav Vitous plays a meditative piece from a great album of the '70s. Speaking of that great decade in jazz, Chick Corea, Lenny White and Stanley Clark reunite for the album Forever. Joshua Kwassman's premier album takes me back to that era with his progressive sound. This podcast is in honor of all the Moms, those with us on this Mother's Day, and in memory of those that have passed.
