Jazz Bastard Podcast 179 - Hive Finds

You won't bee-lieve how hard it is to avoid apian puns in this podcast description, but we'll do our best after this sentence.  Mike and Pat dig into the Beehive catalog and pluck five albums out its sixteen-strong lineup.  Small independents like Beehive kept bebop alive during the dark days of fusion, and the boys find out how.  They also talk way too long about “In High Profile’s” unfortunate album cover. Stay tuned for Mike's discussion of seeing one of his heroes - Kurt Elling - live.  Nick Brignola – BARITONE MADNESS; Curtis Fuller – FIRE AND FILIGREE; Johnny Hartman – ONCE IN EVERY LIFE; Ronnie Mathews – LEGACY; Dick Katz – IN HIGH PROFILE.
