Broadcast on 20-Dec-2010

from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR 101.9 Vancouver

This classic session had always been a Jazz Show tradition and once again this year, 2010, we present it. Little need be said about this date which took place on Christmas Eve in 1954 with Miles Davis in top form as the nominal leader. Milt Jackson is on vibes, Thelonious Monk in trenchant form on piano, Percy Heath on bass and Kenny Clarke on drums. The session is known as the "Bags' Groove Session" as two incredible takes of Milt Jackson's simple blues line is delivered by the band. The other tunes are a Miles Davis/Bud Powell opus called "Swing Spring" plus a Monk/Denzil Best composition called "Bemsha Swing" and finally the Gershwin opus,"The Man I Love". The Jazz Show and your host Gavin Walker wish everyone out there a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and we'll see you in 2011.
