This time, we have two rounds of More Is Better, three pop compositions, and three spicy fusion tracks. As Sinatra sings, “If I knew then what I know now, I don’t believe I’d ever change.”
J azzNotJazz is a program where a unique mixtape is compiled from 100 years of jazz recordings, with meaningful and sometimes meaningless facts. It’s also about the soul of jazz, so excursions into related styles are definitely made. There are irregular recurring segments, such as “The Unplayed Standard,” “Ellington Train Songs,” “Jazz Cameos,” and “More Is Better.”
