Yet another show put together for you to enjoy. This one was mostly a "Retro combs through the KRTU library" episodem I hope you enjoy. Joe Lovano & Hank Jones - Six and Four With Hank Jones' passing this past week, I knew I wanted to play something of this tonight. Nextbop posted an interview he did with us and mentioned working with Joe Lovano on a couple of projects so I knew just what to look for. J Dilla - Oblighetto Imagine my surprise to look through the categories and see a J Dilla track. Seeing his name meant mandatory airplay. Brad Mehldau - Dropjes Recently, JD asked me to record a quick promo and asked me if I had any song in mind to play in the background. While I was thinking, JJ chimed in and said, "Something from Brad Mehldau!" Theses people know me too well. Weather Report - Teen Town I've been seriously craving some Weather Report lately. Dafnis Prieto - Taking the Soul for a Walk The computer picked this. I don't mind. ...

This is late because I was at the Dee Dee Bridgewater concert last night. It was quite exceptional and I sort of can't wait to write my review of it. I'll make sure some snippets of it find their way over here. In lieu of my live tweeting the show as I usually do, I hope this episode of The Line-Up could stand on its own. I was quite proud of it. Tineke Postma - Cabbonal Gerald Clayton - Two Heads One Pillow Vijay Iyer - Big Brother Hiromi - Beerne, Baby, Berne! Christian Scott - The American't Nat King Cole/Cut Chemist -Day In Day Out Brad Mehldau - Capriccio Darcy James Argue's Secret Society - Redeye Nujabes - Peaceland

I'd like to note this was a rather special episode of The Line-Up.  I recorded it on Thanksgiving Day because I spent this evening having the actual dinner with family.  It was generally enjoyable, at least as enjoyable as spending time with family can be before you get tired out. The concept for this show was originally going to be "I'm thankful to have covers."  Most of this episode of the show was covers and remixes or reinterpretations.  I didn't run with that line because it takes me ten takes to do practically everything and after a while, I try to keep things simple in order to not screw things up anymore.  That and a couple songs in this set were originals so that threw things off. Vijay Iyer - Galang Originally by M.I.A. Robert Glasper - No Worries Why don't I own this album?  Oh yeah, the station doesn't have any extras and I'm flat broke, that's why.  Still, I really want this album, Iyer's Historicity , and Aaron Parks...
