Archives, Episode 109: Late Bloomers
Update: 2025-08-19
Description
Taking a short break, and posting a few favourite episodes from my Discovering Jazz archives.
This week it's one from June of 2020--another one from when I was living in Victoria, B.C.
It starts with a song called "Late Bloomers", and ends with guitarist Wes Montgomery, who at age 19 when training to become a welder heard Charlie Christian. Bye bye welding, hello jazz legend! And between all this---many others, including one who didn't become known until age 51 due to spending much of his earlier life in prison.
Once again, lots of great recorded jazz and interesting information about its 'makers'.
