Charlie Rouse tonight on Jazz From Blue Lake

[Lazaro Vega]

When I heard Charlie Rouse play "Monk's Mood" with Kenny Barron and Buster Williams at the Village Vanguard it was like hearing the tune for the first time: the overtone series on that melody with that voicing created an unimaginably rich sound. Tonight Blue Lake celebrates the beauty of Charlie Rouse's tenor saxophone sound on the Jazz Retrospective, with many new recordings, too, from 10 p.m. via www.bluelake.org/radio
