An early set, we start at EIGHT.

Next week's A-Kon. I'll be out
Goofing off with anime.
It's just one week you'll be without.
I shall return, or so they say.

8:00
1. Louis Armstrong - Hello Dolly! (2:24)

Continuing in our month of jazz, tonight, I'm going to play some of the longer pieces. Some of these are slow an contemplative and some are just all over the place.

3. Miles Davis - Spanish Key (Single Version) (2:51)
4. Wynton Marsalis - Soon All Will Know (3:36)
5. Cassandra Wilson - Death Letter (4:14)
6. Duke Ellington & John Coltrane - In A Sentimental Mood (4:16)
7. John Coltrane Quartet - Giant Steps (4:46)
8. Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - Tourist Point Of View (5:08)
9. Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra - Take The "A" Train (5:34)
10. Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd - Desafinado (5:50)
11. Dave Brubeck - Take Five (5:25)

9:00

23. Miles Davis Sextet - So What (9:23)

This is the 200th anniversary of the war of 1812 (right?!), and a lot of people might be watching fireworks on Monday for Memorial Day and listening to the ending of this next track, but very few have heard it all the way through. I am going to play the entire 1812 Overture, and you will soon understand why that ending is as powerful as it is.

10:00

Screwed up! The last was supposed to be my last track. Oh well! More tracks!
