This week on Visions, I let my curiosity guide my selections. I went in without a plan or truly knowing what I was going to play, and somehow I came up with a playlist that spans six decades.

I feature a lot of pianists this week: Patrice Rushen, Hank Jones, Aaron Parks, Tommy Flanagan, and Joanne Brackeen. I play new music from Gary Bartz, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Joshua Moshe, and Nicola Conte. I also play selections from Delfeayo Marsalis, Kenny BurrellCindy Blackman Santana, Roy Hargrove, and more.

Check out the playlist below and listen to the episode on-demand for two weeks after it airs using the media player above.
