Various Artists: European Jazz Stage (Radio Netherlands Worldwide) Playing like a European version of the famed NPR-syndicate program Jazz from the Lincoln Center, this disc is a sampler of a sorts from a 13 week long jazz series hosted by Daniel Frankl. Jazz ranging from bop to contemporary, from big band to the classic sounds of late 40s/50s era Blue Note, there is a bit for every discerning listener. All tracks are clean, but 1 through 10 are samples of the program with commentary. 11 through 20 are where its at.
