Lasting Impression is the latest album from drummer Brandon Sanders

With his third recording for the Savant label, drummer Brandon Sanders lives up to what the title implies - a Lasting Impression that he's here to stay!

With a top - flight cast of pianists Eric Scott Reed and Tyler Bullock, vibraphonist Warren Wolf, tenor saxophonist Stacy Dillard, bassists Eric Wheeler and Ameen Saleem, and vocalist Jazzmeia Horn returning for her third outing with Brandon, there's a crisp visit to the legacy of Bobby Hutcherson, some Mal Waldron, a couple from pianist Reed, and the leader himself showing that his writing chops are in great shape.

In jazz radio, great announcers are distinguished by their ability to convey the spontaneity and passion of the music. Gary Walker is such an announcer, and his enthusiasm for this music greets WBGO listeners every morning on Daybreak. He's the winner of the 1996 Gavin Magazine Jazz Radio Personality of the Year Award and the recipient of the 2021 Marian McPartland-Willis Conover Award for Career Achievement in Broadcasting from the Jazz Journalists Association. Gary hosts the morning show each weekday from 8am til noon. And, by his own admission, he's truly having a great time.
