Program Name: The Gold Standard

In text books, the Golden Age of Jazz is music of the 20s, 30s, and 40s.  But, to the modern ear, the sounds of the 50s, 60s, and 70s tend to be what we think of when we're talking "classic jazz."  The Gold Standard explores the NEW "Golden Age."  From classic label output, to the trends and styles, to the musicians that made it happen - the Gold Standard is solid - start to finish.
