We'll remember saxophone legend Wayne Shorter, hear Nina Simone's meditations on time as she covers Sandy Denny's "Who Knows Where the Time Goes," and hear Pharoah Sanders' collaboration with gnawa trance master Maleem Mahmoud Ghania.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the vagaries of Spinitron, these songs are listed in reverse order. (i.e., Joan Armatrading Back to the Night is song 1, hour 1)
