Featuring Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Esquivel, Arthur Lyman, and more, this show explores the colorful, slightly surreal side of mid-century jazz, along with the tiki culture, cocktails, and hi-fi records that helped make it a distinctly American escape.

Electric guitars were added to the brew and included some guitarists still recognized today such John McLaughlin, John Scofield, Sonny Sharrock, and Michael Stern. There were a slew of other lesser known guitarists who floated through the bands and we will sample their work as well. Join Steve and Gary for a sampling of electric Miles with emphasis on the guitarists. Less
