Friday, July 16th, 2004 ... 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. ... KZSU, 90.1 FM

Format:
ARTIST -- "TRACK TITLE" -- ALBUM TITLE (LABEL, YEAR)

* Kenny Wheeler -- "Toot-Toot" -- Song for Someone (Psi, 2004; recorded 1973)

* Kenny Wheeler -- "Ballad Two" -- Song for Someone (Psi, 2004; recorded 1973)

Consecutive tracks that showcase differing sides of Kenny's personality: standard big-band fare on the first, and his more contemplative side (which he's popularized on his ECM releases of the past couple decades). Also includes a bit of the free-improv that Wheeler was dabbling in back when, as 1973 had him hanging out with the Derek Bailey/Evan Parker kind of crowd.
