Replay of the "Best in Classic Jazz"

I'm in New Orleans this week and have uploaded the "Best in Classic Jazz" show that aired from Dec. 12-19. I hope you enjoy hearing these classic cuts on Live365.com.

It has been a fantastic week here in New Orleans. Perhaps the highlight has been having lunch with Dr. John. It was very informal, and it was peppered with "colorful" comments by Dr. John and Bob French concerning the lack of progress taking place here in New Orleans. Dr. John is very concerned--and his love for his home clearly showed throughout our conversations.

Happy New Year to all my listeners, and I'll have a new show on-line by Thursday, January 4th.

Take care,
Banzai Bill White

Program Note: Next Week—Top 30 From The Best in Classic Jazz

I learned years ago from Mr. Michael Gourrier that you never “rank” your Top 30 list. These cuts are in no particular order, though I will say that I was really impressed with five of these albums in particular: Joe Locke and Geoffery Keezer’s “Live in Seattle,” Christian Scott’s “Rewind That,” Kenny Garrett’s “Beyond the Wall,” Anton Schwartz’s “Radiant Blue,” and Ted Nash’s “In The Loop.” All the albums presented this week, though, are EXCELLENT albums. They would all make excellent additions to your Jazz library. I really enjoyed putting this show together. Next week I will be producing my favorite show of the year—the Best in Classic Jazz. It’s going to be lots of fun.
