Well, Sen. Obama had an interesting speech last Tuesday; honest, thoughtful, maybe even visionary. So of course much of the media coverage was deceitful, idiotic and blinkered. Sigh...

This Monday's JPJ accepts the invitation to have a dialogue about race.

Besides the usual suspects (Miles, Trane, Duke) we offer up some Fred Anderson live at his Velvet Lounge in Chicago, the very underappreciated John Carter, the Ed Blackwell Project caught live just 2 months before his tragic passing and Louis Armstrong dropping the scat bomb on one of the worst songs evah!

Join Joel for Just Plain Jazz every Monday 2pm-4pm
