It's called The Jazz Show. It happens every Sunday from noon thru 2 pm on Radio bFM. It's been going for years and we're all very proud of it. The hosts rotate and every few weeks it's Def Jim's turn. As usual, today he played various selections from his recent listening that he thought you'd all really like, including artists such as Adam O'Farrill, James Brandon Lewis and Creative Construction Company. Plus he spoke a tribute to the great Anthony Braxton, who turned 80 last Wedneday. It's a great podcast - enjoy!
