PLAYLIST for DECEMBER 26, 2007

Program Topic:

BEST OF 2007: Fifteen of the acquisitions that gave me great pleasure during 2007. The first five come from the historical jazz/blues tradition; of the next six, four are remarkable discoveries of significant recordings never released before, and two are CD reissues of significant but long unavailable recordings; and the final four are examples of the best that’s happening here and now.
