Day at the Dog Race: A Three Hour Tour

Hard bop and modern jazz light the fuse. Then the Hammond starts cooking: soul jazz, deep funk, Afro-Latin fire, rare groove and cinematic soul. Jamaica gets into the bloodstream, dub slips into a jazz standard, and suddenly Miles Davis is hiding around every corner.

Wes. Sonny. Marvin. Brooklyn meets Brazil. Bebop collides with the Beat Generation. London answers Detroit. Old records whisper to new ones, tributes hide inside originals, and the segues have secrets of their own.

Jazz is where we start. Where we wind up is anybody’s bet.
