On today's Lucky Old Souls, Feldie takes you back to the late '40s with several early tracks from Jimmy Witherspoon and a few from another star of the LA rhythm & blues scene, T-Bone Walker.  That'll lead into tracks from a wide range of their influences, collaborators, and contemporaries, including Blind Lemon Jefferson, Ma Rainey, Art Tatum, Nat King Cole, Charles Brown, and Coleman Hawkins.

Near the end of the show, you'll hear a rare live recording from ca. 1966 with the great Edgar Bateman on drums.  Bateman will be performing live in Philadelphia this Friday night at the Lucky Old Souls @ Moonstone series, on a bill that also includes Yolanda Wisher and Mark Palacio, hosts of the umuvme program on G-town Radio.   Here are the details:

We now stream at 128 kbps which makes us sound as good as the music you play on your iPod or right there on your computer.  We recently bumped it up from 64 kbps.  If you are still listening at 64 kbps make sure you switch to our newer and better stream.  The old 64 kbps stream will be turned off tonight (6/30/09).

Tune in to Lucky Old Souls for Feldie's weekly mix of jazz, rhythm & blues, and more.  On today's show, you'll hear lots of music featuring one of the giants of the tenor sax, Don Byas.  He moved to Europe in 1946 and didn't return to the States till 1970, but he never stopped making great music.  You'll hear him with Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, and leading his own groups. 

There'll be plenty of other folks in the mix, too, including Lena Horne (who turns 92 today!) Bobby "Blue" Bland, Otis Spann, Betty Harris, and Jason Moran.
