This show begins with Jazz pianist, composer and educator Noah Baerman. Noah also struggles with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), an incurable connective tissue disorder. Last month was EDS awareness month, and I had pledged to highlight EDS on this podcast. Please check out Noah's blog post at his website ( http://noahjazz.com ) for more information. We feature other Connecticut jazz artists on this week's show and some great jazz cats from Rochester NY. We have Jen Allen, Jimmy Greene, Noah Preminger, Frank Varela, Peter Greenfogel from CT, and Mike Melito and the Sneider Brothers from Rochester. Rounding out the show are Ambrose Akinmusire, Ornette Coleman, Chick Corea and John McLaughlin. This makes for a very eclectic mix. Hope you dig it.
