The Tune Up plays an evolving mix of jazz which blends between classic, experimental and raw sounds. This week’s mix starts with Autumn In New York off of the Charlie Parker With Strings album, since it’s almost fall time! The first half is themed around old-timey jazz that just sounds cozy. Then, a few cool tracks I discovered recently including a smooth cover of Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together by pianist Monty Alexander.
