Inside Jazz
Sunday August 24th, 2025 with Jim Reil & Ron Steeds
Recording sessions led by drummers - one recorded September 4, 1958, the other recorded April 8, 1968. The show is dedicated to Drake The Dancing Labrador, who displayed a very percussive tail when the music played.

In the first hour Jim sets the pace with the 1958 Riverside recording called DEEDS, NOT WORDS led by Max Roach. In the second hour, Ron follows up with the 1968 Blue Note recording PUTTIN' IT TOGETHER led by Elvin Jones. Today we hear two of the most outstanding drummers in the history of jazz.

Thank you Ron and Jim for remembering and honouring my Guardian Angel and beloved boy, Drake. Your thoughts give me comfort and mean a great deal to me. Sunday was always our favourite day of the week. CKCU is my family

So sorry to hear about Drake Neil. Dogs are such wonderful companions, and loving faithful friends and family members. Having recently lost our beloved dog, I know how heartbreaking it is. The home feels so much emptier now. But I’m sure you have many wonderful memories of Drake that you will be able to cherish.

Jim......as soon as your eloquent descriptive comments begin after this side of the first album........no one will remember a couple of brain farts while they were making a cup of tea and settling in for another amazing showcase of outstanding jazz recordings. And thank you for honouring Drake. I love The Inside Jazz Possee !!

Neil, thanks for the kind thoughts. Our dog’s name was Puglee. He left us about a year ago at the tender age of 14. We grieve and miss him still. Dogs have such a special relationship with their owners……as I am sure Drake had with you

Drake was 14 yrs and 10 months 3 weeks. Puglee is now in my prayers. I truly hope they find each other to hang out and tell stories about their Dads.
