The music for this week's show is from the 1939 Harold Arlen musical
score for the movie starring Judy Garland. The arrangements are by
John Sheridan, who was born to arrange for small, hot jazz band. The
script is based on the original 1900 children's book, "The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum. The script was written for Vernel
Bagneris, who plays the parts of all the characters in his unique
style. You may remember Vernel as the voice of Jelly Roll Morton in
the Ken Burns film "Jazz."

Listen to this one with your grandkids.
