This is the week of August 18th, 2008
Something old: reggae legend Peter Tosh; something new: jazz phenom Esperanza Spalding; something borrowed, something blue: ten versions of "My Favorite Things," a song borrowed from Broadway that John Coltrane, Cyrus Chestnut with Anita Baker, Al Jarreau with Kathleen Battle, Turtle Island String Quartet, Anna Luna, Jean-Michel Pilc, Hannibal Marvin Peterson, Betty Carter, Johnny Hartman, and Pharoah Sanders with Dwight Tribble, all mightily blow the blues on. Give thanks and praises!

This week it’s Milton Nascimento part 2 with a little help from Trio Esperanca and Vania Bastos. And then we have new music from Al Green. We close out with a reggae throw down featuring Peter Tosh, Bob Marley & The Wailers, Toots & The Maytals and The Abyssinians. Don’t sleep on a soulful, western hemisphere extravaganza.
