Jazz Unlimited for December 8 will be “Live Jazz from The Blue Note, Iridium, Jazz Standard and In Time Cafe.”  We continue playing live music from the jazz capital of the world with recordings made in jazz clubs, where the interaction between the audience and the players takes both to new heights.  Tonight’s show features music from Oscar Peterson, Carmen McRae, the Charles Tolliver Big Band, Monty Alexander, Conrad Herwig’s “Latin Side of…” ensembles, Kenny Barron & Charlie Haden, Von Freeman, John Scofield, the Mingus Big Band, the Keith Jarrett Standards Trio, Jacky Terrasson, Elvin Jones, James Carter and Chick Corea’s Origin.

The Slide Show features my photographs of some of the artists heard on this show.

This Archive of the show will be available until the morning of December 16, 2003.

Here is the Mingus Big Band Live at the Jazz Standard playing "Hora Decubitus" (aka E's Flat Ah's Flat Too) in 2008.
