This Week: The first hour continues samples from some piano trio singers in albums first profiled last week by pianist/singers Diana Krall, Freddy Cole and Ben Sidran, then guitarist/singer John Pizzarelli in his new tribute to Tony Bennett, “Dear Mr. Bennett.” In the 4:00 hour, we conclude our four-week centennial tribute to singer/pianist Blossom Dearie and more of “The Art of Jazz Saxophone” (Volume 3) from your Lopez Library. At 5:00, we profile the work singer Danny Olivo as our “fresh face at five” in his new CD, then we present part 2 of a 5-part May tribute to the centennial of trumpet giant Miles Davis (born May 26, 1926), this time exploring his third of “nine lives” in jazz, the Prestige years of the mid-1950s, with parts of four CDs recorded in two sessions for that label in 1956.
