Jazz Bastard 154 - Ain't Nothin' in Chicago for a Monkey Bastard to Do

It's our kind of town, so here's another episode devoted to Chicago jazzers, from scat master Kurt Elling (whose poetic sources for his vocalese Mike explains are impeccable) to tenor-slinger Von Freeman (whose views on intonation may disturb younger and more impressionable listeners).  A couple more experimental offerings round out the session, which ends with Pat wondering if he loves the Beatles quite enough.  Kurt Elling – LIVE IN CHICAGO; Von Freeman – DOIN’ IT RIGHT NOW; Fred Anderson – MISSING LINK; Ed Wilkerson – FREQUENCY.
