Randall’s One Song – The Shapeshifters, Lola’s Theme 

In this episode, host John welcomes Randal Abrams, a music enthusiast who shares his passion for jazz and its evolution over time. Randal introduces listeners to the music of Donald Bird, a jazz trumpeter who transitioned from a hard bop style in the 1950s and 60s to a more exploratory, jazz-funk sound in the 1970s. Randal highlights the similarities between Bird's music and that of Miles Davis, but notes that Bird's version of jazz-funk is more accessible and well-produced.
