Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Kennedy Center honoree, and seven-time GRAMMY winner Ralph Johnson guides you into the “jazz scape” on Jazz Epicenter 6.7—the finest in jazz from the ’60s and ’70s (and more). This hour glides from the Jazz Crusaders’ Lighthouse ’68 take on “Eleanor Rigby” to Quincy Jones’ swaggering “Killer Joe,” Miles Davis live on “Seven Steps to Heaven,” and Will Downing & Gerald Albright with “Here’s That Rainy Day.” Ralph spotlights Wayne Shorter’s “Speak No Evil,” then shifts to vocal elegance with Carmen Lundy (“So Beautiful”) and Diane Schuur (“Love Dance”), before the Christian McBride Big Band brings it home on “Down by the Riverside.” Hour two digs into Stanley Turrentine’s CTI-era fire (“Impressions”), the time-bending Don Ellis Orchestra (“Concerto for Trumpet”), Bob Mintzer & the WDR Big Band (“Whack”), Dianne Reeves (“Once I Loved”), Antonio Sánchez (“One for Antonio”), and a serene close with Shirley Horn (“Return to Paradise”). Be kind, be cool, be safe—and most of all, be blessed.
