Jackson Plays Dylan & Dylan Plays Dylan

    Listen to this week's show      We're spinning Javon Jackson 's extraordinary mainly-instrumental album Jackson Plays Dylan on this week's program. As a bonus, we're inserting some original Bob Dylan tracks, to underline the lyric. No need for it when you have Lisa Fischer 's jawdropping "Gotta Serve Somebody" and Nicole Zuraitis ' "Forever Young" (or "Blowin' in the Wind"), but salutary with regard to tunes like "Hurricane" and "Tombstone Blues"...

Photo courtesy of Benedetto Guitars .     Listen to the show      With deep sadness, on this week's show (February 28, 2026) we mark the passing of the immensely talented 7-string guitarist  Polly Harrison ,  who died last week (February 20) on the gig, doing what she loved to do. Polly was  a revered member of the San Antonio jazz community for many years, as a performer (she played with just about everybody) and  as a mentor to up-and-comers and newcomers.  She and  drummer-singer Kyle Keener  had a five-decade partnership as the Small World band , gigging everywhere and hosting a virtually unbroken series of yearslong welcoming jam sessions. Her work was multifaceted and genre-spanning; we lean into her bossa nova and Brazilian jazz playing here.      For more of Polly's story, read Bett But...

  Listen to this week's show   Unveiling two October 2025 releases on Caminhos do Jazz this week, both labors of love, self-produced. New Jersey-born, Philadelphia-based drummer Tom Cohen  has  "never been happier about a project than he is about Embraceable Brazil. I was really proud of this producer in me that kind of emerged,” he says. “You just never know what possibilities there are until you try something new. The future is sometimes more open than we think.”  And Brazilian guitarist-singer Roberto Montero has been in on the LA scene for going on three decades, working  live and in studio/film music production .   Todos os Tempos is his first solo outing. Check the YouTubes below for a little taste of each.
