On this episode of Jazz Epicenter 6.7, Ralph Johnson—Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Earth, Wind & Fire percussionist—guides you through a rich sonic voyage across the jazzscape. From the smooth piano magic of Chick Corea to the soulful resonance of Cannonball Adderley’s Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, this show taps into the raw emotion and technical brilliance of jazz’s golden age.
Also featured: Shirley Horn’s heartfelt Return to Paradise, Tanya Maria’s high-energy Brazilian groove, a vocal spotlight from Dee Dee Bridgewater, and electrifying tracks from Donald Byrd, Joe Henderson Big Band, and Freddie Hubbard.
Broadcasting from Los Angeles and streaming worldwide, this episode proves once again that the jazz epicenter isn’t a place—it’s a feeling.
