The latest JAZZ JUST AFTER DARK (9/10) may have been the best yet. A celebration of our great city as much as a 9/11 commemoration. More so, the monstrous trumpet player, first-call session artist Mac Gollehon joined us in the studio for an interview and live performance—including a duo with yours truly to debut my new poem, “Night for Day: 11 of 9”. It doesn’t get more moving. Here’s the show link and our very NY-centric playlist. It includes vital jazz of the city, natch, but also the must-hear ballad by vocalist Maria Gentile , “Amputated Skyline”. As we reflect on the twentieth anniversary of tragedy, I feel that our survival has been in our refusal by not turn away, and to love life.
