"Continuum - A Journey Through Jazz" on SoulandJazz.com Episode 5: “Kind of Cool #3"... with your tour guide Scott Fugate, the Jazz Evangelist

Podcast: Available right now, free, legal, and CD quality at 320 kbps. Click here.

We continue our Journey Through Jazz this week with the 3rd consecutive episode devoted to the sound of “Cool" and “West Coast Jazz".

This week we start our exploration with the cool Turkish rhythms of Dave Brubeck, and follow his saxophonist Paul Desmond to something kind of cool he recorded with Gerry Mulligan - and also feature some earlier sounds of Gerry Mulligan's Quartet with the essentially cool Chet Baker. You'll also hear the exotic side of cool as we journey to the Far East with Chico Hamilton, and down to Brazil with Vince Guaraldi... then back to the blues with Brew Moore, and mixing it with mambo for a project recorded by vibraphonist Cal Tjader. We then travel to the vibe stylings of the Modern Jazz Quartet, and the foundational West Coast sound of Shorty Rogers and His Giants - including the likes of Shelley Manne, and something kind of cool he did with Sonny Rollins.

So, this leg of the journey will leave you feeling like you've had a cool relaxing drink on the West Coast with some exotic side trips thrown in for a unique and absolutely free vacation . . . and all you have to do to go on this trip is click the download button.

Enjoy the journey!
