Just Got Back from Sunny Florida

They do call it "The Sunshine State" for a reason. It was almost warm enough down there for me to have brought swimming trunks. Although, the water can be cold this time of year, so maybe it's just as well......

Well, it's been a hectic couple of days, but it's always a nice thing knowing that, no matter what happens during the course of a week, I can always return to the studio and play some nice music. Tonight I am featuring a few new acquisitions, and some stuff I heard at the Deftones show last month (right before I left for Florida)

Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).

For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.
