For today's Show Def Jim features one track each from three musicians primarily thought of as rock guitarists but who were also known to have serious jazz chops, plus new/recent releases from drummer Ches Smith and bassist Michael Formanek, plus sundry other choice cuts from various contemporary improvisers of note.

Blind Mango Chutney eases us in with some laidback Paul Desmond and finishes with the innovative pianist Joanne Brackeen. In between he has guitarist Alex Pipes in the studio to introduce us to his album "Square One", plus a bunch of other cool jazz, of course.
