Summary: Welcome to the 102 edition of "Continuum, A Journey Through Jazz." It seemed appropriate for this episode that we take a little trip around the world – just your average Autumn excursion to Europe, South America, Brazil, Cuba, Africa . . . a road trip, you know, to look at the leaves. So I have gathered together 26 stellar new releases from 2012 for the journey – featuring cuts from Gregory Porter, Lynn Veronneau, Brian Bromberg, The Farah Quintet, Carol Saboya, Fabrizio Bosso & Javier Girotto, Grant Geissman, Connie Evingson, Leila Pinheiro, The Shaolin Afronauts, Tucci & Mannutza, Gabriele Poso, Ojos De Brujo, Leo Gandelman, Kenny Garrett, Randy Hoexter, Alfredo Rodriguez, Pete Escovedo, Poncho Sanchez & His Latin Jazz Band, Manuel Galban, Jack DeJohnette (feat. Esperanza Spalding), Halie Loren, Jessica Lauren Four, Hot Club Of Detroit, Laila Biali & Monday Michiru. Therein lies some world jazz; Brazilian Samba, Salsa & Bossa; Afro-Cuban & Latin jazz; Grooves flavored by Afro-Beat, House & Flamenco, and a few things that are hard to define. Two hours and 26 tracks to take you on a journey of excitement, relaxation and discovery. Please stay in touch with me on your journey by writing to Scott@Soulandjazz.com - feel free to send any comments, requests, maps, hotel & restaurant suggestions, and foods & insects I should avoid in my world travels. You can also stay in touch via Facebook & Twitter. It's easy - just search for the Jazz Evangelist. Agape y'all, J. Scott Fugate, "The Jazz Evangelist"
