While living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean has certain advantages, hearing live jazz is not one of them. I rely on web-casts such as yours to bring music such as this to my awareness. Even though I’m an old guy, I live (musically) on the cutting edge of modern jazz creativity. Thank you for advancing my education.
