"Bill Krause Is In The House"! Thanks for an excellent program as usual today. Some of my favourite jazz of all time going on. I had not pieced together it is ALL 1959 until you pointed it out. Yup, a rather progressive year!! q;^)

Also worthy of inclusion on your 1959 list - Sun Ra, Silhouettes In Jazz

Yes, some Sun Ra would have been worthy to inclusion. Silhouettes in Jazz is one of my favourites.
