Musical Families in the MCG Jazz Spotlight

WZUM and MCG Jazz are recording from home - and thinking of family - and, especially, musical families.

This week on the MCG Jazz Spotlight show, Marty Ashby and Renée Govanucci talk about jazz families. From the Brubeck’s and the Marsalis’ to the Aliquo’s and DeFade’s, with the Ashby’s and Clayton’s thrown in, 10 jazz families are represented (and a few of them share the billing on single tracks!)
