Today’s program starts with B.B. King and Kenny Burrell playing together…..along with organist Jimmy Smith and a host of other great musicians. Then Emilie-Claire Barlow rhythmically transforms a Donovan tune into …what’s the time signature anyway? More vocals from Mel Torme, Tony Bennett, Diana Krall, Roberta Flack, and Bob Dorough. You just have to hear Dorough’s rendition (with bassist Bill Takas) of I’m Beginning to See The Light. Then I throw in some Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans just for good measure. At the end I play my “Discovering Jazz” theme song from start to finish, but I don’t introduce it. So consider this a contest. The prize? Well, you can be a ‘guest’ talking about any jazz related topic you want, on a 2018 episode of this program. Or I could give you a couple jazz lp’s or cd’s. The question? What is the title and the artist of my theme song with which I end this week’s program?
