Visions: A mix of old and new jazz
Listen to “Visions” with host Kaleigh Wilder every Monday from 8-10 p.m. ET on Detroit Public Radio 101.9 WDET.
Wynton Marsalis playing with Jazz at the Lincoln Center Orchestra in Aalborg, Denmark, 2020.
On this week’s episode of Visions I play new music from Immanuel Wilkins, Fabiano de Nascimento, and Melissa Aldana. I play fairly recent releases from Sara Serpa, Micah Thomas, and Kalia Vandever. Music from Anna Webber’s Percussive Mechanics, María Grand, and Wynton Marsalis grace the airwaves. Plus classics from Charles Mingus, Les McCann and Joe Henderson.
I also play two previously unreleased live recordings from the Oscar Peterson Trio and Roy Hargrove which just came out over the weekend, the latter for Record Store Day. There’s a lot to unpack in this episode, so sit back and enjoy the ride!
