This is the week of December 28th, 2009Out with the old, in with the new. Go-Go keeps going. We check in with Chuck Brown. And then take a meditation on the new world acoming with Lizz Wright. And we close with a reflective meditation on the timeless music of John Coltrane as presented by Jose James and the Jef Neve Quartet. May every moment we live be worthy of remembering and inspiration for better and beauty yet unborn.
