Jazz Roots and more

I wouldn't say that this is a show about the roots of jazz, but I did play many selections from the Jazz Roots CD featured here. We start with a guitar set with Benson, Coryell, Scofield and Cory Christenson. Then we groove to Turrentine and Dirubbo. We follow that with some of the greatest female vocalists. Ella, Sarah, Aretha and Diana Reeves. The podcast ends with Ben Webster and Stan Getz. That is quite a collection of great jazz artists.
