Episode #157: Canzona


One of the first "theme show" ideas that I had for Star Time was an all-instrumental show. Well, it took four years, three different residences, 157 shows, and one pandemic, but at long last it's here. Listening back to the instrumental soul jazz, hard bop and funk fusion music on this program, I can't fathom why I waited so long. Maybe I should take more vows of silence. Don't answer that.
