Broadcast times around the country here (under "carriage".) The program will be http://archived for online listening Monday morning.

Next week: "The Horace Silver Songbook."

Another nice show, David! Great selection, too!

What song was being played between "Ping Pong" and "Infant Eyes?" It was being played while you were describing "Infant Eyes," and I can't identify it, and I know I'm gonna kick myself when you tell me cuz I probably have it at home.

Big Al, thanks so much--really glad you liked it. Was there a music bed in that part? I don't remember putting one in there--I'll have to go back and check the show. At the start of the program (after the "Blue s a la Carte" opening tune), the bed was "Night Dreamer." The midpoint music bed was "Black Nile." Selecting the music was tough--so many good Wayne tunes, even when you narrow it down to 1960-1969.

We re-aired The Wayne Shorter Songbook this past week and it is available for online listening.
