Anthony Dean-Harris

It's times like these when I'm playing music new and old that many folks probably haven't heard before or probably not for a while that I feel like I'm a good DJ. This is a good DJ show. Grand Pianoramax - Infidel Shout out to Leo Tardin who is celebrating his birthday today. Or is that last week? Man, Facebook is confusing. JD Allen Trio - Mr. Steepy This is a new one and deserves play. Ben Williams - Moontrane Williams' debut album is pretty nice. I'm looking forward to playing more of it soon. Stefon Harris , David Sanchez, & Christan Scott - Ñengueleru We've been waiting for this album and we've finally gotten our hands on a (scratched, unfortunately) copy. Still, due to some weird happenstance with the record label and things of that ilk, I'm just playing the free track that's already available. You may have heard about it. Rachelle Ferrell - Why You Wanna Mess It All Up? For me to have had a show this long and to have not ...

It was very difficult for me to set my mind to putting together an hour of music that didn't include Kanye West. I've been listening to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy since it leaked. Still, jazz music is good, too. Here's some... The Bad Plus - The Radio Tower Has A Beating Heart I've only had one track from this album since it released so I've been sort of in withdrawal from new Bad Plus for a bit. This track should stop me from getting the shakes. Brad Mehldau - She's Leaving Home I decided that since Apple chose to make a big deal out of putting The Beatles on iTunes, I'd make an unnecessarily big deal about joking about The Beatles on iTunes. Neither my joke or Apple's announcement probably solicited much response but just like The Beatles, at least the music is good. Oh, also Josh Jackson took my suggestion that this is among the 50 best Beatles covers of all time . Ben Allison - Across the Universe I just wanted to finish out this set o...

If I can even remember to post this from my phone tonight, it would be a feat. If you've been paying attention to me in other venues , I'm right now in Austin for SXSW and likely listening to non-jazz music. These ears have many loves, I'll tell you. But that doesn't mean I slacked off on putting together a great episode of The Line-Up. Nor did I slack off on my writing for Nextbop (in fact, I made a buffer in posts because I know how I am). Either way, there's a great Line-Up all ready and raring to go for you to hear (or hear again if you already heard it live at KRTU ). Eldar - Insensitive Preservation Hall Jazz Band feat. Tom Waits - Tootie Ma Was A Big Fine Thing Justin Vasquez - Triptych Pat Metheny - Orchestrion Gil Scott-Heron - Gun Sound Directions - Dice Game/Wanda Vidal Brad Mehldau - She's Leaving Home
