Album #56: Kind Of Blue (with Andrew Stinson)

This week The Guys welcome Andrew Stinson to the podcast to talk jazz, Miles Davis, and his legendary album "Kind Of Blue". 

Andrew Stinson stays busy as an in-demand bassist, performing jazz, rock, folk, salsa, funk, and almost any other type of music. His master's thesis on Charles Mingus is an insightful look at the great jazz artist's solo style, and continues to be referenced in jazz academia.
