Well, after a work trip that covered the past three major holidays, I'm back at WWOZ for another edition of "Jazz from the French Market." First of all, my sincere thanks to Jeff Greenberg who filled in for me. Jeff, you did an amazing job. There's been a lot of new music to come out that I'm itching to play.

We'll be talking in studio today with the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey about their journey from Tulsa, Oklahoma to become one of the cutting edge groups in contemporary jazz. If you caught them yesterday for their in store appearance at the Louisiana Music Factory or last night's gig at the Blue Nile, you know you'll be in for a treat.

Please join me at 4 p.m. CDT for "Jazz from The French Market." I've been gone for seven weeks and really missed doing the show. But thanks to Jeff Greenberg, who very ably put together some top notch shows in my stead, I was able to hear jazz like I like it by way of Oz's stream ( there isn't much jazz in west Texas where I was).

Getting In Shape for the Upcoming New Orleans Music Marathons

Saturday the weather was nice and I decided to take in more live music in a single outing than I've done in quite a while. In retrospect this was actually great preparation for a couple of New Orleans Marathons that are scheduled over the next two months. No I'm not talking about those where you have to don skimpy apparel and run or jog, but those where you have choose from musical treats among the various stages and tents and gatherings at the French Quarter Festival, and of course, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
