This week on KBFG’s “PUGET SOUNDZ” we’re going to play multiple versions of the same four songs, getting increasingly wilder as we go! We’ll begin with the one and only Charlie Parker with strings playing “I’ll Remember April”; then Charles Gayle’s solo piano deconstructing the tune and finally Charles Mingus & co. racing through nearly all possible permutations! Again we’ll do something similar with “I Want to Talk About You” [wait till you hear Coltrane’s unaccompanied obliggato!]; then that old chestnut, “Blue Skies” straight ahead before being totally ripped apart by apparently immortal saxman Marshall Allen [he’s still going strong at 101 after all!]; and finish off with Martha and the Vandellas’ “Dancin’ in the Street” prior to both the Grateful Dead and then a duet by none other than Mick Jagger & David Bowie! All on 107.3 on the FM radio and KBFGSeattle.org/listen on the web on Mon., 4/20 [smoke ‘em if u got ‘em(!)] at 5pm & Wed., Apr. 22nd [hey, that’s MIngus’ birthday!] at 7pm PDT!! See MoreSee Less
