That was a marathon -- 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. with "Out on Blue Lake" at midnight (new Art Ensemble cd was featured) and mostly recordings featuring Bobby Hutcherson in the 2 a.m. hour. Thanks to Randy for calling to say, "Hey, that sounds like Don Moye on drums" during the Art Ensemble feature.

Tonight the "Jazz Retrospective" hights recordings with saxophonist Ned Goold.

I still remember James Carter as a high school student at Blue Lake. He was looking for Wynton records and all I had to give him was a Timeless with Blakey. He was a sweet (but cocky) kid then.
