Visions: Music from Weather Report, Chief aTunde Adjuah, John Coltrane and more

On this episode of Visions, I play a little bit of a lot of things across all the decades, including new to Visions from Rafael Luna, Janel Leppin, Space, Jyoti — aka the alias for Georgia Anne Muldrow — and more. I also play some classics from Weather Report, Charles Mingus, Lonnie Liston Smith, Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane, and Hank Jones.

But a common thread during this episode, and one I plan to continue over the next month, is to play some of the artists who will be at the Detroit Jazz Festival this Labor Day weekend. Mimi Fox Organ Trio, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, Christian McBride, and Melanie Charles are all artists I played on this episode, but they’ll also perform in Detroit in the next month! If you want a sneak peak into what to expect during the Jazz Fest, Listen to Visions every Monday from 8-10 p.m. ET on Detroit Public Radio 101.9 WDET, and on-demand at wdet.org and the free WDET mobile app.

Check out the playlist below and listen to the episode on-demand for two weeks after it airs using the media player above.
