PLAYLIST FOR “ESCAPE PLANS” (AN ARCHIVAL RE-BROADCAST) 1.24.26

26 Jan

I was metaphorically under the weather this week, 24 hours before most of the country was literally under the weather. So I dipped into the archives for a show from a few months back. It may be more relevant to my mood now than it was when it first aired. This is what I wrote about it back then:

I can think of a thousand reasons why Escape Plans are on my mind. Instead, I thought of a couple dozen great songs and let them be my escape for a couple hours. (I also paid tribute to Jack DeJohnette whose work means so much to me.)
