"Okay For Sound" April 2, 2010

(Week 202)

UPDATE: This program is now available for download in 128k mp3 format here: HOUR 1 and HOUR 2.

This RADIOLA! is compiled mostly from recently acquired CDs, including more from Koichi Sugii, Bert Ambrose, and the Comedian Harmonists. We also pay tribute to legendary pianist John Bunch, who died March 30 at the age of 88. Big thanks go out to Irwin Chusid, Dan Levinson, Rich Conaty, and Randy Skretvedt.
