Welcome. Friends and music lovers

0:04

to this week's edition of

0:06

In the Groove, Jazz and

0:08

beyond. My name's Ken Laster.

0:10

Let's begin today's show with

0:12

a fine trombone player out

0:14

of San Diego by way

0:16

of Knoxville Tenn I believe

0:18

his name is Matt. All

0:20

he put together a big

0:22

bad performance with some of

0:24

the great players in the

0:26

San Diego area of organ

0:28

has begun today's show with

0:30

a smaller ensemble of Mats.

0:32

From his debut album I hope

0:34

to my never we're going to

0:37

hear track entitled Biscuits and Gravy

0:39

This is Matt Hall. He

3:18

the eighty. Ha!

3:25

Ha ha.

3:27

Ha! Ah,

3:58

Ha! Edit:

4:16

Oh. forever

6:57

That's trombonist Matt Hall. A

7:00

very soul jazz kind of

7:02

New Orleans style tune. His

7:05

own composition, Biscuits and Gravy from

7:07

an album released back in 2022.

7:11

I Hope To Mine Never from Matt

7:13

Hall and that features Matt

7:15

on trombone. Charlie Arboles

7:18

on alto saxophone. Jason Chateau

7:20

on piano. Mackenzie Layton on

7:23

bass. And Kevin Conner on

7:25

drums. And elsewhere on that album is

7:27

a fine guitarist, Louis Valenzuela. So

7:30

it's a great album, highly recommend

7:32

it. Hope To Mine

7:34

Never from Matt Hall. We're

7:36

going to continue on with another young

7:39

player that I highly admire. Her name

7:41

is Sarah Hanahan. And I

7:43

know her from the days back

7:45

in Hartford, Connecticut, where she attended

7:48

school, University of Hartford. She's a

7:50

fine alto sax player. And

7:52

she's doing quite well in the New York

7:54

City club scene. And she's been

7:57

on tour recently with

7:59

the drummer Joe Farnsworth. She's

8:01

part of his quartet. She's

8:04

about to release her debut album. The

8:07

album's going to be titled Among Giants.

8:09

It'll be released in the

8:11

end of June, but

8:13

she has released a single from

8:15

that. It's her own composition. It's titled

8:18

We Bop and it

8:20

has Sarah Hanahan on alto

8:22

saxophone, Mark Carey on piano,

8:24

A killer tune from Jackie

25:22

influenced by Jackie McLean. Her name

25:27

58:23

published this weekly podcast for

58:25

over 12 years, with more

58:27

58:32

time and expense to produce this

58:35

show. Why do I do

58:37

this? I hope you can tell that it

58:39

58:43

globe. Now I'd like to ask

58:45

you for your support to continue this musical

58:47
