Remembering Toots Thielemans: jazz harmonica, guitar, and whistler. Some Duke Ellington, Blue Mitchell on trumpet. Herb Ellis and Stuff Smith play the blues. Gabor Szabo on guitar, vocals by Ella, a little 70’s funk from James Moody, and Gerry Mulligan. And Happy 90th to Tony Bennett! 

Special guest Colin French joins us to talk about summer and some of the firest albums of the season. He gives ratings to these albums in terms of tears, hairs, and coloring books along with his professional musical analysis. These albums are: Retrograde, Blonde, Home of the Strange, Aggressive, Home Inside My Head, Misadventures, Coloring Book, and The Bible 2 spanning genres from pop-punk to metalcore to hip-hop. He also answers some thought-provoking inquiries such as: "Who is your favorite Greek god?", "Do aliens exist?", and "If you designed an Olympic sport for another solar system, what would it be?". Colin also selected some summer-themed jams for this show: "Dismantling Summer" by The Wonder Years and "Summertime" by My Chemical Romance.
