What’s New: February 2009

Benny Golson new jazztetThis week’s edition of Afterglow features new (and almost all-instrumental) releases from pianist Keith Jarrett (another one from the so-called Standards Trio), saxophonist Benny Golson (a new version of his classic 1960s Jazztet group), the tribute group Blue Note 7 (paying homage to the Blue Note record label), and pianists Ran Blake (from his new release Driftwoods) and Chick Corea (a duet of Bill Evans’ “Very Early” with pianist Hiromi).

For a more in-depth look at the music of Benny Golson, check out the recent Night Lights program The Benny Golson Songbook, which includes several recordings of the original Jazztet.
