On today’s episode of Jazzed, we're going to honor two visionaries in music and, while not jazz artists, both created music that the world has embraced over the past 60 years. Both Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys and Sly Stone of Sly & The Family Stone passed away recently at the age of 82. Their contributions to music cannot be overstated. To honor them, I’ve compiled jazz interpretations of their songs that I think you’ll really enjoy. I hope you can tune in live or stream afterward on MixCloud...and be sure and spread the word!

On today’s episode of Jazzed, we're going to spotlight the careers of two classic jazz baritone saxophonists: Leo Parker and Pepper Adams. Leo Parker started out in 1944 playing with both the Coleman Hawkins and Billy Eckstine Orchestras, producing the first bebop recordings. Pepper Adams worked with trumpeters Donald Byrd and Chet Baker, and repeatedly won Downbeat awards for his playing starting in 1957. We'll hear music today from both of these superb baritone saxophonists. I hope you can tune in live or stream afterward on MixCloud...and be sure and spread the word!
