Playlist for the Unpopular Music Webcast for April 28, 2018

I feel pretty good about this week's program, much more than last week. We have the usual first hour/second hour jazzy/freeform divide. I advocate for the alto-with-two-tenor sax line-up. There's even some new releases. The second hour has contrast with continuity and a couple of tracks from albums I hadn't listened to in years that were as good as I remember them.
