This is episode 118 and at this point, we've developed a fairly substantial catalog of episodes. I think of each episode as an answer to a jazz question that you, my listeners, may have.
But I don't always have the answers, or it's better to have someone who has a different perspective or expertise in a particular area than I do. That's why I love having guests on the show.
In this episode, I feature some of my favorite guest episodes thus far. It was hard to pick some and not others, but these were all powerful episodes that I think deserve a re-look.
I picked out 13 episodes and short clips that I thought were great takeaways, and expand on them a little bit more.
