Oh, mama. It's carnival time, but the only video of Al "Carnival Time" Johnson isn't great. Just go and play that song and book your tickets. In the meantime enjoy Professor Longhair melting your face.

I know it's barley spring in MN, but the summer time heat and humidity are beginning to appear in NOLA. If the opportunity presents itself, I recommend seeing this guy live.

Ms. Holiday sings one of the most gut wrenching songs of the civil rights struggle. Her label, Columbia, refused to record Strange Fruit due to fears of a negative reaction from the South. However, they did agree to a one session opt out of her contract in order to record this track.

Some great jazz crossover albums were released in 2013, but none hit me harder than Gregory Porter's Liquid Spirit. I just got tickets to see Porter in Chicago next month, where he's opening for Jack DeJohnette, Joe Lovano, Esperanza Spaulding, & Leo Genovese. I think the last time I was this excited to see someone live, it was Keith Jarrett.

hitman, if you were still DJing, i'd tell you that we've already done jazz week, and it's time to transition to the new, no matter how weird and unsettling it is. then, i'd tell you to top this.
