Paul Desmond tonight on Jazz From Blue Lake

[Lazaro Vega]

Max Harrison sure had it in for how hiding the lyrical beauty of Paul Desmond in plain sight of the Dave Brubeck Quartet diminished the alto saxophonist's reputation. Maybe. For sure Desmond said he practically put ear muffs on not to fall to the siren song of Charlie Parker. We'll hear Desmond within and without Brubeck's band tonight, 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. edt on Jazz From Blue Lake, http://www.bluelake.org/radio
