Kurt Rosenwinkel, Soriba Kouyaté, Sheila Jordan | Visions

On this episode of Visions, I have music that spans hard bop, latin jazz, straight ahead, fusion, and many other subgenres within this music we call jazz.

You hear classics from Booker Ervin, Dorothy Ashby, Jimmy Heath, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Sheila Jordan, Trudy Pitts, and Bobby Hutcherson.

I venture around the world with cuts from Soriba Kouyaté, Gilberto Gil, and Jane Bunnett. I include music from Terri Lyne Carrington, Sean Mason, Yazz Ahmed, Myra Melford, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and Michele Rosewoman. Happy listening!
