On the next edition of INSIDE JAZZ we dedicate the show to Drake The Dancing Labrador (one of our faithful listeners), who recently passed away. The focus will be on records led by drummers. In the first hour Jim presents the 1958 Riverside Records album DEEDS NOT WORDS led by Max Roach. In the second hour Ron counters with the 1968 Blue Note album PUTTIN' IT TOGETHER by The New Elvin Jones Trio. Two hours of great jazz for a Sunday afternoon.
