Heavy Hitters album cover

On this edition of Jazz After Hours...

The NYC all star sextet, the Heavy Hitters have two tunes on the show, one by saxophonist Eric Alexander and one by pianist Mike LeDonne. We celebrate the classic songs of Jimmy Van Heusen and the be-bop of Dizzy Gillespie. Trombonist Conrad Herwig invites Jazz After Hours listeners to his gig at Django in the Roxy Hotel, and Tony Kadleck reimagines one of his fave Bill Withers classics.
