Welcome friends and music lovers to

0:04

this week's edition of In the Groove,

0:06

Jazz and Beyond. My name's Ken Laster.

0:08

We've got an eclectic show for you

0:10

today, beginning with

0:13

new music from artists young

0:15

and old. We've

0:18

got 70s fusion jazz

0:21

as well as classic jazz from

0:23

the 50s from Sonny Rollins.

0:25

So let's get started with

0:28

brand new album from

0:30

Mike Derubo, fine alto

0:32

saxophone player. This

0:35

album has a lot of Hartford roots

0:37

in it. Mike Derubo on alto sax,

0:40

a graduate of the University

0:42

of Hartford, studied under Jackie

0:44

McLean, as well as the

0:46

guitarist Andrew Renfro, also a

0:49

University of Hartford grad. Ryan

0:52

Charette on Hammond B3 Organ

0:54

grew up in the Hartford area. And

0:57

then we've also got J.K. Kim,

1:00

I believe he's a Korean

1:02

drummer who's making it big

1:04

in New York City. I see his name a

1:06

lot on various

1:09

recordings. So let's begin with

1:11

Mike Derubo. The name of the album is

1:13

Inner Light. We are going to hear the

1:16

moment before sunrise. Thank

1:46

you.

15:48

kids and

15:52

with the

15:57

kids and

16:45

Ah yes, a brand new release

16:47

from Charles Lloyd entitled, The Sky

16:49

Will Still Be There Tomorrow. This

16:51

is a brand new release. I

16:54

think it just came out a couple days

16:57

ago. A double CD. It's

16:59

got a great quartet of Charles

17:02

Lloyd on saxophone, Jason Moran on

17:04

piano, Larry Grenadier on bass, and

17:07

Brian Blade on drums. We heard

17:09

the track Booker's Garden.

17:12

And we started out the show with Mike

17:14

Derubo from his latest release,

17:16

Inner Light, released late

17:18

in 2023. We

17:21

heard a track The Moment Before

17:24

Sunrise. We're going to continue on

17:26

now with a vocal from Samara

17:28

Joy, this young artist, 24 years

17:32

of age. Already has

17:34

two Grammy Awards under her

17:36

belt. She has such a

17:38

mature voice for 24 years old.

17:42

It's truly amazing. I like to compare

17:44

her with Sarah Vaughan.

17:47

Her album is entitled, Lingar a

17:49

While. We're going

17:51

to hear the jazz classic,

17:54

Round Midnight. Only

18:00

moon lights the sky

18:04

And the day is

18:06

only done I

18:12

sit here in my room How

18:14

I sigh for the day that

18:18

took my soul Another

18:23

lonely day passes by

18:27

And a new day passes

18:43

Here they've said today In

18:46

my arms Waiting

18:49

until tomorrow Dreams

18:52

19:14

29:00

you you

30:30

Thank you.

31:00

Thank you. Thank

31:30

you. Thank

33:02

you. Ah,

33:52

some 1970s fusion that I mentioned you'd

33:54

hear at the top of the show.

33:57

This one from David Liebman. saxophonist,

34:02

a Miles Davis alumni, and an

34:04

album that I just rediscovered lately.

34:06

I remember listening to it back

34:09

in the college days

34:11

of mine back in the 70s. The

34:13

name of the album is Sweet Hands,

34:16

and we heard the Beatles classic, one

34:18

of my favorite Beatles tunes, Within

34:20

You and Without You, and

34:23

an interesting cast on

34:25

this one, Dave Liebman on

34:27

soprano saxophone and flute and

34:30

wind chimes, along with Richard

34:33

Byrock on keyboards, Frank

34:36

Tusa and Charlie Hayden playing

34:38

dueling basses on that one

34:40

with a great double

34:43

bass solo. Also

34:46

on that, Don Elias on percussion,

34:48

Badal Roy plays an important part

34:51

on tablas, and

34:53

Gita Roy on timbora

34:55

and Aruj Lazawal on

34:58

sitar. Love that track

35:00

from David Liebman, the album Sweet

35:02

Hands. And before that

35:05

we heard from Samara Joy from

35:07

her album Linger a While. We

35:09

heard Round Midnight. We're going to

35:11

continue on with some more jazz

35:13

rock fusion, this time

35:15

from Chick Corea and Return to

35:18

Forever. This is when he broke

35:20

out to a really hard rock

35:22

sound, in my opinion, from

35:25

the album Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy,

35:27

a 1973 release.

35:30

It's got Chick

35:32

Corea on piano, Bill Conners

35:34

on guitar, Stanley Clarke on bass,

35:36

and Lenny White on drums. We're

35:38

going to hear Game

35:40

Maker from Return to Forever. you

37:30

39:00

You You

41:30

He can come

41:32

into that world and live

41:34

a natural life alone! But

41:39

how can he staylan can only be the one who gained deep stress eventually, he

41:43

does all kinds of work with his mom, why

41:47

he can't go on... but

41:55

41:59
