Jumpin', leapin', stompin', struttin' - you name the physical activity, and we're playin' a tune that references it in the title on this week's edition of JPJ (June Precedes July?).

"Leo Jumps In", "Panama's Jump", "Mel's Jump", "Jitterbug Jump", "Stompin' At The Savoy", "Leilani's Leap", "Hot Bean Strut" - phew! It tuckers me out just to type a few of the hot platters we'll be spinning! As a musical corrective, we'll also be preparing to "Chill" with some "Green Tea" in "The Bath".

From Leo Parker, Panama Francis and Tiny Grimes & his Rocking Highlanders (!) to the more contemporary sounds of Medeski, Martin & Wood, Joshua Redman and Jacky Terrasson, Just Plain Jazz will be jamming more music into a two-hour slot than physics would seem to allow. If I told you that there's a strong likelihood that you'd also be hearing Wes Montgomery, Mulgrew Miller, Ray Bryant, Paul Motian and even more, well, you'd think that I was a big exaggerator...Tune in this
