In this hour of The Blues & Beyond, a new album called "Circle Without End" from funky bassist Frank Russell. We'll hear something you don't often hear, funk in 5-4 time, and also Russell's tribute to Ladysmith Black Mambazo. We'll also hear Ladysmith Black Mambazo themselves, signing in their inimitable way from their album "Songs From A Zulu Farm" isuued last year. We have new music from singers Amy Cervini and Liz Childs. Cervini's album is a tribute to the late Blossom Dearie. Also the new release from pianist Sunnie Paxson, and concert recordings of pianist Chick Corea, bassist Eddie Gomez, and the late drummer Paul Motian, recorded in New York last May, from the album "Further Explorations." Bobby McFerrin will join Jack DeJohnette on the new DeJohnette album "Sound Travels" with some other-wordly singing. DeJohnette, a drummer, pianist, and composer recently won a Jazz Masters lifetime achievement award from the National Endowment For The Arts.
