Forget any stuffy preconceptions. A preview of the new PBS Legends of Jazz TV and radio series, this CD proves that the music remains vibrant and contemporary. Stalwarts like Benny Golsen and Dave Brubeck always deliver, while host Ramsey Lewis, Chris Botti and Jane Monheit show off jazz chops they sometimes obscure in the studio.
