Episode 70:: Celebrate September!

Mid-September is an important time in the recording industry - Jazz or otherwise - for album releases. In our national memory, it has become a focus of intense, at times even blinding, patriotism. It is also the time of the Rosslyn Jazz Festival, a free Jazz event in DC with major national talent (stay tuned for live recordings). On a personal note, 4 people who are special to me celebrate their birthday on September 9, 10, 11 and 12. Somewhere in the rough mixture of all these influences emerges Episode 70: Birthdays, new releases, festival bands, and somber remembrance. Free, Fun, and Fair Trade approved.
