On this edition I would like to show that , from the early years to our modern times, Jazz has and will alway ignore political, social, religious, cultural and linguistic boundaries and speaks to the listener IN ALL LANGUAGES in a spirit of openness and inclusion. Jazz simply learns us a lesson: that people and societies are at their most peaceful when they tolerate each other and work together. Music by Wolfgang Puschnig, Jelly Roll Morton, Charlie Parker, Machito, Dizzy Gillespie, Chano Pozo, Gerry Mulligan, Astor Piazolla, Abdullah Ibrahim, Jan Garbarek and the Indo-Pak Coaltion deliver the soundtrack for this mission.

On this edition I am exploring "JAZZ JAMAICA" and like to introduce you to a couple of artists who are inspired by the rhythms of traditional Jamaican music and integrated them into the largely improvisational nature of Jazz. You can hear musicians like Monty Alexander, Ernest Ranglin, Vic Bennett, Harold McNair, Joe Harriott, the Jazz Warriors, Gary Crosby and the Jazz Jamaica All Stars as well as Courtney Pine. Please come on in for some lively sunshinemusic to fight those dull, dark and rainy November days.
