Welcome to the first Hot Box of 2025. Regular listeners will know that we had a rush of obituary-type shows at the back end of last year, but we start 2025 with some new material as well as a quick nod in the obituary section again, I’m sorry to say, to remember the great saxophone player Lou Donaldson.
