Tadd Dameron

You heard Pacific Swift off his album Juno, released in 2020.

That was followed by guitarist Aaron Shore with his version of Tad Dameron's If You Could See Me Now, off his album Omens Creek, released in 2023.

Seattle native, New York-based guitar player and composer Miles Okazaki recently released his ninth album of original compositions.

The album is called Boomtown, and the next song is called Hole in the Wall for Miles Okazaki.

Talking about a classic in our repertory, Miles' interpretation of Thelonious Monks around midnight, and a great solo by Coltrane as well.

And finally, we heard Tad Dameron's Tad's Delight.

Again, three separate recording sessions for Columbia when they first signed up this group, and...

Butto came out originally on a sampler LP called Jazz Omnibus.

Some of the other songs recorded in those sessions came out on other samplers, and the bulk of them came out on an album that they called Roundabout Midnight, which has become an all-time jazz classic.

And the Bye Bye Blackbird, the Round Midnight, and Tad's Delight all were on the Roundabout Midnight album.

You are hearing this learning and listening to this music, and I hope enjoying yourselves on radio station WKCR-FM New York and WKCR-HD, our station ID, as we finish up the first two of five hours of our program today, Jazz Profiles, five hours again now a days.

On Sunday afternoons from 2 to 7, we take an in-depth look at one theme.
