Published March 9, 2024 at 5:00 AM MST

Don’t Call it Jazz is trying a new type of conversation show where host Jon Armstrong is joined by his longtime friend and musical collaborator Keith Kelly. The two of them will be trying a couple different show formats including, Old and New Dreams, where they compare an old classic album with a modern one.

For this first episode, they will be discussing the seminal 1979 self-titled album from the jazz super group, Old and New Dreams (based on which this series is named) and Koma Saxo by the Swedish bassist Petter Eldh.
