Great Cab! Diggin' this set, thanks
Yeah, David, I wonder where that concept originated... Are you doing any radio anymore? Do you still have a massive music collection? What are you up to these days? Thanks for the kind words.
Interesting focus - wondering where the concept originated - the main theme to this edition sems to be fifty years of bebop - especially enjoyed the wardell gray and miles davis while the eddie harris was a nice ear opener - good stuff, ron, keep it up :)
I see Cab Calloway here so, I'll love it for sure! Cab is the first funkateer in History!
