2025/09/14

This episode is my Chill Playlist. Starting with Miles & Trane is a fine way to begin. While it is laid back on the surface, many of the tunes start chill, but gain in intensity. Branford's Hope is a great example of this. I especially dig Joe Henderson's take on Lazy Afternoon.Playlist Artist ~ Name ~ Album Miles Davis ~ Footprints ~ Miles Smiles John Coltrane ~ Equinox ~ Coltrane's Sound Branford Marsalis Quartet ~ Hope ~ Braggtown Joe Henderson ~ Lazy Afternoon ~ Power to the People Pat
