Pete, who is a long-time supporter of Cosmic Jazz and who has been a guest on the show on several occasions, returned this week. As always, his selection was eclectic, interesting and reached beyond the traditional boundaries of jazz. There was plenty of information as well about the tunes he chose – Pete is very knowledgeable about the music he loves. His selection included his own personal tribute to Terry Callier (including a version of the classic Fred Neil song Dolphins), some rare Brazilian grooves, a touch of unfamiliar Carla Bley and Johnny Griffin’s take on Wade in the Water.

2. Dorothy Ashby – Little Sunflower
