Playlist for the Unpopular Music webcast for December 7, 2019

A bit of a variety show for you this week. The first typically jazzy hour has many flavors of jazz, some current, some historical, some in between. There's an unintended grouping of tracks led by Miles Davis rhythm section alumni. The second hour wanders around. Some jazz, some modernism, something from the classical side of the third stream, a 70's obscure classic/classic obscurity I've been meaning to play for a while, and a fifty-year-old song ripped from today's headlines. Also, an announcement regarding the future of the live webcast.
