New England Winter

The temperatures in New England are hovering in the single digits, snow is piled high and there doesn't seem to be relief in sight. So I can't think of anything much better than hanging out at home and listening to a great jazz podcast. This one starts with some brilliant playing from John Scofield and his quintet including Brad Mehldau and Kenny Garrett. Next is a little known gem from Herbie Hancock. That is followed by a pair from Noah Preminger's new album Before the Rain. This is an album of haunting melodies and exploration from one of the most promising young tenor players on the free jazz scene. See my complete review of this album here. Noah is followed by a couple of great tracks from Keith Jarrett and Ravi Coltrane. The program ends with a classic from Alice Coltrane.
