This week our journey through jazz takes us to the City of Atlanta, GA where we are preparing for one of the best & biggest free jazz festivals in the world – meaning that it doesn't cost anything, not that it's focused solely on the genre of 'free jazz'. . . on the contrary, there is quite an eclectic line-up which will surely appeal to all tastes.

So, to whet your appetite, this episode features all the artists performing in Piedmont Park on Saturday, May 29th . . . starting with bass legends Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller (both or whom are appearing at the Atlanta Jazz Fest this year) and Victor Wooten with a funky update of the Miles Davis classic 'Tutu', followed by some unreleased music composed and performed by local Atlanta jazz artist's Jay Norem & Keith White in the style of Monk, as well as a live Brazilian influenced performance by Steven Charles . . . moving on to an exciting new album from Trombone Shorty, and a peek at some of his earlier work . . . continuing with the Latin jazz groove of Esperanza Spalding, and a collaboration with Stanley Clarke . . . you'll hear the funky side of Miles with Marcus, followed by a reunion jam with Marcus Miller and David Sanborn on a Tower Of Power classic, as well as something modern and expressive from Christian Scott . . . and ending with the positive and soulful vibe of Julie Dexter.
