In the Groove, Jazz and Beyond

Show Notes

This show begins with San Diegan pianist with Mexican roots, Irving Flores. His music is grounded in the Latin Jazz tradition. That is followed by the late great George Duke with tunes that show off his diversity of styles with R&B and Brazilian influences. Then some early Weather Report before concluding with a beautiful ballad from Coltrane as we near his centennial birthday.
