Oh, My Aching Feet!

Jazz for tortured soles: A list of soothing jazz tunes to ease the agony of da feet. Sorry, but I couldn't resist using the local Chicago dialect after I tortured my feet during a marathon walking session at The Chicago Blues Festival. This selection includes some music that came out this year that cannot be ignored: Vijay Iyer and Rudresh Mahanthappa, Christian McBride, Bob Belden, Sai Ghose, and others. Click here to listen.
