A guitar or two; likewise bass; some sweet violins to circle Charlie “the Bird” Parker; and one mighty viola in a starring role! Plus a pair of trombones, a poem by Makoto Ōoka, the magnificent voice of Betty Carter, and a nod to Ray Bradbury on the 70th anniv of The October Country because, hey, it’s Halloween, too! Neil Molloy hosts.
