Educated on JAZZ!

... "By my man AHMET Ertegun, my friend!" Thus opens our show tonight, the words of a true friend to Mr. Ertegun, a man who carried him to his grave. Kid Rock, quoted in a jazz episode in Ahmet's House? Yes, that is how wide and high this house is. It serves as the inspiration and gateway for this evenings show. It is Bob's quote, but the first song title could easily apply to Atlantic's iconic founder as well. Enjoy! 

Good times!
