The episode opens with Andrés Monserrat introducing Jazz Record on BCN Radio, focusing on Argentine and world jazz. He mentions a recording by the Philharmonic Orchestra of London mastered at Abbey Road Studios. The host then plays Count Basie's 'OK, You Win' featuring Joy Williams, explaining that the CHIEF label initially forgot to include this song in the album, leading to a quick reissue. Next, Dexter Gordon's 'The Christmas Song' is featured, followed by a discussion of 'Feeling Good', written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for a 1965 musical, with covers by artists like Nina Simone and John Coltrane. After a pause, Herbie Hancock's 'Empty Pockets' from 1962 is played, noting it was his first Blue Note album. Nora Jones' 'Running' is highlighted after a 34-program absence. The host praises Argentine saxophonist Gato Barbieri as a monumental musician recognized by peers like Miles Davis. The episode shifts to a 'Jazz and Beatles' segment, where Oscar Peterson's 1969 album 'Motions and Emotions' includes jazz versions of Beatles songs such as 'Yesterday' and 'Eleanor Rigby'. The host analyzes 'Eleanor Rigby' as a revolutionary track with only Paul McCartney's voice and a string quartet. The episode wraps up with thanks to listeners and technical operator Lucas Tomasetti, mentioning upcoming year-end closures.
