This week on Miles to Go Before I Sleep, the theme was...well, there was no theme - just great jazz. I took particular relish in featuring songs from artists new to my library, such as Clifford Brown, Haden & Rubalcaba, Art Blakey, and legendary pianist Horace Silver (pictured right). I was joined in the studio by my two interns - Sam and Daniel - and over the airwaves by the show's largest listenership thus far, and the lot of us bebopped and scatted to swingin' tunes through the night. I also had the pleasure of debuting several liners produced by yours truly. Our selections this week were:
- Excerpt: American Haikus - Jack Kerouac
- Smells Like Teen Spirit - The Bad Plus
- Yègellé Tezeta - Mulatu Astatke
