While I was spending much of the day before helping during the KRTU San Antonio membership drive and then making three hours of live radio — guest hosting Sweet Beats before hosting my usual Line-Up, I was also putting together this week’s Evölve, filling in for Barry Goettl. I always say I like his show because it’s like The Line-Up with more structure. We run through the JazzWeek charts, play some new stuff, feature an album for the week — I picked Ben Wendel’s The Seasons — and play some more new stuff. It’s a well rounded portrait of new, not strictly personal whims. I had fun as usual, and you get to hear another two hour mix of new this week, filled to overflowing.
