Aaron Shorr Trio, plus the Aaron Sabasch Collective (Saturday, Nov. 26th)

What to expect this week!

As the jazz world mourns the loss of drummer Paul Motian, I will be devoting a special segment to some of his music, including some music from his last live album, "Village Vanguard, Vol. III".  I've also got a pair of great piano trios who just put out new records, Cyrus Chesnut and Benny Green, as well as tons of other stuff.  Tune in, 4pm on Thursday, or listen online!
