In JazzNotJazz, we create a unique mixtape from 100 years of Jazz recordings, combined with relevant, or sometimes not-so-relevant facts. The focus of this program is The Soul of Jazz, so we will most definitely deviate to associated genres. We also have some infrequently recurring segments such as “De Niet Platgespeelde Standard” (The Unplayed Standard), “Ellington Train Songs,” “Jazz Cameos,” and “More is Better.”

In this episode we’ll be treated to a variety of pieces, including two tracks featuring Donald Fagen in delightful collaborations. Cannonball Adderley treats us to a soulful jazz number. We’ll also enjoy a track from the latest album by the timeless Yellowjackets from 2022, along with some pleasant rhythm guitar and a bass clarinet by Joe Sample. And to top it off, we’ll experience 100% jazz interpretations of The Star Of A Story and Summer Soft!
