PLAYLIST FOR “FEELS LIKE FALL” (9.28.24)

30 Sep

Why did I wear a sweater to the show this week? No buttons to struggle with? (I thought we were friends.) Because it feels like Fall!  So lots of fall and Autumn songs this week including Sarah Vaughan’s insane but irresistible version of Autumn Leaves. And I couldn’t sign off without a fond farewell to Benny Golson.

PLAYLIST FOR “INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY” (4.26.14)

26 Apr

International Jazz Day is April 30th, but I couldn’t wait. Here’s a sampling of some wonderful jazz singers from around the world. Check out Jazz Day events at Jazzday.com. There must be something going on near you, so be sure to support this music we love.

It’s also almost Toots Thielemans’ 92nd birthday. He decided recently to retire, so I especially wanted to celebrate his birthday, his long career, and his music which always came straight from his heart into his harmonica. Thanks, Toots!
