This week on Gift & Messages we mark 50th anniversary of Blue Note releases from February 1970 by flautist Jeremy Steig (Wayfaring Stranger with Eddie Gomez on bass), McCoy Tyner (Extensions with Wayne Shorter, Gary Bartz and Alice Coltrane), and Duke Pearson (I Don't Care Who Knows It), as well as BN-18 from Edmond Hall with Charlie Christian. Along the way timeless Charlie Parker (Savoy 936, if you're keeping score) and Sam Rivers, as well as 21st century music from trombonist Doug Beavers, drummers Matt Wilson and Jemal Ramirez, and pianist Rob Schneiderman. Enjoy the show. R.I.P. Harry Harrison (one of the WMCA 'Good Guys') September 20, 1930—January 28, 2020
