Episode 300: Recordings Chosen to Celebrate My 300th Episode

Discovering Jazz

This podcast originally started as a Trent Radio program in 2016. It became a podcast in 2017. The original goal was to discover more about jaz, answering questions like what is jazz, what isn't jazz, how has it developed, do you have to understand it to like it, and what can someone new to jazz look for. I still don't know the answers to those questions even after 8 years....so I guess I have to continue doing it.

For this 300th episode I play an eclectic array with the only commonality being that they are all recordings I feel like playing right now.

It includes tracks by Vince Guaraldi, Ellas Kapell, Gene (Eugene) McDaniels, Count Basie, Stu Goldberg, George Russell, Susan Alcorn, Sandro Dominelli, Wayne Shorter, and ---believe it or not---Lou Christie.

And hopefully they are presented in a way that the whole program feels cohesive.

Feedback is always appreciated....please post it on whatever podcast site from which you get your podcasts. Thanks.
