Today's 95bFM Jazz Show, hosted by Def Jim, was an absolute corker. Featuring a core of five-star tracks from post-2020 releases in the modern jazz idiom by such stellar artists as Thumbscrew, Tyshawn Sorey and Ava Mendoza, the Show also reached back to the 80's and 90's to revisit important work by the likes of Arthur Blythe and Chico Freeman, which is to mention by name well under 50% of the Great Jazz to be heard in this podcast. Unmissable.
