New Jazz Releases

I wonder why create tribute to one still alive?

Weber had a stroke a while back and can no longer play bass.
I believe this live concert used his recorded bass tracks.
He was present for the performance. Although recorded live you wouldn't know until the applause.

Charenee Wade: "Offering", the music of Gil Scott-Heron, is a new album I've been playing over and over, hearing it on a different level each time. There are a number of reviews on this music, all of them favorable. Here is one of the reviews;

This music can be found on "you tube", I would like to hear your opinion.



Enjoy the music.
