September 22, 2025- 10 Jazz Albums that Changed History

This week’s show is built around ten jazz albums that didn’t just make waves—they changed the course of music history. These recordings stretch from the early roots of jazz to the boldest innovations of the modern era, each one a landmark that expanded what jazz could be. Tonight, we’ll move from Armstrong’s Hot Five in the 1920s, to Ellington’s Newport triumph, to Coltrane’s spiritual masterpiece, and beyond. Let’s lean in, listen closely, and hear the moments when the world of music opened a little wider.

Jellyfish Donuts

The door pushes back with a soft groan,
and the air is sugared brine,
half bakery, half tidepool. 
Glass lamps shaped like jellyfish hang above, 
their glow steady, not quite natural. 
The menu glints in chalk dust, 
part joke, part warning, 
a dare scrawled in sugar.

House Specialties — Today Only:

Seaweed & Salted Caramel Ripple - 
kelp flakes tangled into sticky sweetness.

Beetroot & Black Garlic Glazed - 
a purple-red bite with a shadow of earth.

Turmeric Pineapple Fire Ring - 
golden heat meeting citrus sting.

Lavender Pickle Surprise - 
floral calm ambushed by brine.

Sardine & Lemon Zest Cruller - 
ocean breeze with a citrus slap.

Charcoal & Hibiscus Swirl - 
ash-black dough bleeding crimson bloom.

Avocado & Wasabi Glazed Twist - 
creamy green mellow, then the nose-burn.

Rosemary Grapefruit Crunch - 
bitter pith under sharp pine needles.

Miso Maple Bar - 
savory umami wrapped in tree sugar.

Dandelion Honey Puff - 
a meadow fried into golden fluff.

Pumpkin Kimchi Knot - 
spicy funk bound in autumn orange.

Cactus Pear & Chili Powder Jelly-Fill - 
sweet desert sting at the heart.

And at the end of the counter, 
a glass case with a handwritten sign:

Plain donuts — sold out.
