This week on Visions, I play a little bit of a lot of things. Selections span from 1960 to newly dropped singles, with a couple really exciting exclusives in the mix.

I play new music from Mary Halvorson and Ambrose Akinmusire, Yvonne Rogers, the Sean Imboden Large Ensemble, Ingrid Jensen, Flea, and Jeff Parker. I play classics from Herbie Hancock, Gene Ammons, Kirk Lightsey, Larry Young, and Leo Parker.

I play a track from the Oscar Peterson Trio recorded live at Baker’s Keyboard Lounge in 1960, but previously unreleased. The whole album is coming out this Friday, April 17, on Verve Records.

Along similar lines, I play a track from Buster Williams‘ debut record that is being re-released for Record Store Day, Saturday April 18.

Happy listening!
