Running the gamut

This show definitely runs the gamut through many styles of jazz. Whether its rocking out with Return to Forever and Frank Zappa, vocalizing with Esperanza and Elling, or straight ahead swinging with Joe Lovano Steve Davis and Mike Dirubbo... its all jazz and its all good. By the way, congratulations to Esperanza Spalding for her Grammy award in the best new artist award. See my review of her latest album Chamber Music Society. Its great to see the Academy give jazz some respect.
