We begin the show with a variety of Lionel Hampton's recordings, to celebrate his birthday. Including the full set of recordings released in the Savory Collection of a 1938 broadcast of Martin Block's >Make Believe Ballroom".
The second hour is dedicated to Arkadia Jazz Records, a New York based Jazz label. We pull from In the Beginning, a collection of alternate takes and "missing" tracks from Arkadia's early days, and then finish of the hour with T.K. Blue's eminently listenable WIse Eyes of the Elders.
