It's Herbie Hancock's birthday celebration podcast episode. We've got him on the first four tracks of this podcast, in different settings. Certainly he is a living legend on the jazz scene today at 83 years of age.

No real theme to this week's show, just some music I've been listening to this week. I commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day with Herbie Hancock's "I Have A Dream". I make mention of the jazz discussions on Mastodon. You can find me there at @digginjazz@mindly.social . Love to hear from other users of the microblog service that are listeners of the show.

Due to getting Covid a couple of days ago, I didn't feel up to recording a new podcast. So, I picked a show from last year and did a minimal amount of editing to bring you this week's episode. It has a nice vocal set as well as other good music.
