From 2011 ... a trio of tracks from Konstantin and the cd Groove Jazz N Chill#1 on the showcase segment. In the second half, we're turning back the hands of time for the Vintage Collection - this installment is highlighted by Vangelis with one of the biggest instrumental hits of the 80s, the duo Quintana + Speer, Andrew Glover, David Garfield, and Alan King ... on the radio show that continues to explore new directions in jazz!

On After Hours: December Bossa
… from December of 2011 - all the selections in the hour have bossa in the title - so in keeping with this we've dubbed the feature December Bossa after the Gold Coast tune with that very name. There are 13 selections including Bossalectro by Marc Antoine, David Benoit with Botswanna Bossa Nova, Who's the Bossa from Patrick Yandall, and Marcos Ariel's Bossa Love!

On After Hours: It Seems to Hang On
Five shows ago, Peter White started our cover tune series with a Jr. Walker & The All Stars tune. So now 60 selections down the road we've come full circle, as today's parting track is a read on another Jr. Walker classic - from Dave McMurray it'll be Walk in the Night. Also cued are Cindy Bradley, Marion Meadows, Chuck Leavell, Stanley Jordan, and A. Ray Fuller. With 12 selections that include Scarborough Fair, So May It Secretly Begin, and Oye Como Va, we're calling the segment It Seems to Hang On for a Paul Hardcastle tune.
