In this hour, we will explore some tracks that are big and old, and others that are small and new. Yet despite the seeming dissimilarity of the structural form, let us not forget that this is jazz. It is truly fascinating how in jazz the past keeps informing the present and future, where new ideas are continuously spun from a reverence for all that came before, mixed with the moment and the knowledge of where we would like to go.
