Guest Eric van Aro/October 20
Multi-lingual, multi-national all the way from Switzerland, Eric previews his new jazz CD ""Obsession."

It's a welcome pleasure to hear Eric van Aro in action. . . his expressive story-telling is enhanced by a propulsive sense of rhythmic swing and intuitive gift for melodic phrasing."
