So, of course, I jumped right in, since I’ve spent my life fishing for the right words and angling for an original thought.

PLAYLIST FOR “CELEBRATING MOTHERS” (5.7.16)

9 May

A program for all the mothers in the audience, and for a change I meant it in a literal sense, not as a nasty pejorative. So it was two-hours of music about being a mother, caring for their kids, worrying about their kids, and advising their kids – any of which can be taken to an uncomfortable extreme…but maybe that’s just my story.

PLAYLIST FOR “MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO LOW SELF-ESTEEM” & “MUSICAL MASH-UPS” (3.26.16)

26 Mar

I pulled a couple shows from the archives for everyone’s listening pleasure this week. I’ll be back live next Saturday night!

A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO LOW SELF-ESTEEM

I tried to play the best songs I could think of for this theme, but I probably left out all the really good ones. Crap. I knew I was going to screw it up. Why did I think I could do this right? What was I thinking?

Uh-Oh. Maybe I’ve been thinking about Low Self-Esteem a little too long this week.

SONG TITLE / Artist / Album Or CD Title

IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN / Chaise Lounge / “Insomnia”
EVERYTHING HAPPENS TO ME / Carmen McRae / “The Fabulous Carmen McRae”
PRIVATE GUY / Ben Sidran / “Don’t Cry For No Hipster”

DANG ME / Kellye Gray / “And, They Call Us Cowboys”
NEVER LET ME GO / Cleo Laine / “Quintessential Cleo”

MUSICAL MASH-UPS

Can I do two things at once? Rub my head and pat my stomach? It’s more fun if someone does that for me. Walk and chew gum? Ok, so I had to give up chewing gum. Sing two songs at once? Maybe I can’t do that, but these guys can and did this week on Turntable For One.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

THREE LITTLE WORDS/SIR DUKE / Bria Skonberg /“Into Your Own”
EAST ST. LOUIS TOODLE-OO/DON’T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE / John Pizzarelli / “Rockin’ In Rhythm: A Duke Ellington Tribute
ANYTHING GOES / Keri Johnsrud / “All Blue”
HOUSE OF GRACE / Billy Brandt / “The Ballad Of Larry’s Neighbor”

PLAYLIST FOR “TWO SHOWS FROM THE ARCHIVE” (2.27.16) #jazz #jazzradio #jazzsingers

27 Feb

I played two shows from the archive while I took a Saturday off to gather my thoughts. I should have brought a leaf rake. First up was “All Talk Radio!” a show from last fall after an exciting two weeks at Pundit Training Camp where I learned the valuable lessons all pundits and news commentators know, such as: it’s not what you have to say, but how long it takes you to say it. Oh, I could have talked on and on and on and on about this, but I filled up most of the hour with some great songs about talking.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

HAPPY TALK / Nancy Wilson & Cannonball Adderley/ “Nancy Wilson & Cannonball Adderley”
TALK TO ME, TALK TO ME / Freddie Cole / “Talk To Me”
TALK TO ME BABY / Cleo Laine / “Quintessential Cleo”
YOUR MIND IS ON VACATION / Mose Allison / “Lounge Live From The Mountain Stage”
GIRL TALK / Holly Cole / “Girl Talk”
TALK TO ME / Frank Sinatra / “The Complete Capitol Singles”
TOO HOT FOR WORDS / Lily Frost / “Too Hot For Words”
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND / (Mystery Vocalist) / Bernie Sanders
SHOW ME / Karrin Allyson / “Daydream”
CAN WE TALK / Ben Sidran / “Don’t Cry For No Hipster”
EVERYBODY’S TALKIN’ AT ME / Donna Lewis / “Brand New Day”
I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT ANYMORE / Mark Jennett / “The Way I Am”
WORDS / The Real Group / “Live In Japan”

The second show, “The Complaint Department,” first aired 3 years ago. The only complaint I want to hear after the show is from your neighbors because you were playing the music too loud.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD or Album Title

BUT NOT FOR ME / Gladys Knight / “Before Me”
HOW COULD YOU DO A THING LIKE THAT / Frank Sinatra / “Come Swing With Me”
RAIN JUST RAIN / Rigmor Gustafsson Quintet / “In The Light Of Day”
I WISH I DIDN’T LOVE YOU SO / Steven Pasquale / “Somethin’ Like Love”
KISSING BUG / Hetty Kate / “Kissing Bug”
YOU’RE TALKING TOO LOUD / Dave Tull / “I Just Want To Get Paid”
TELEPHONE SONG / Stan Getz & Astrud Gilberto / “The Girl From Ipanema”
WHININ’ BOY BLUES / (Mystery Vocalist) / Hugh Laurie / “Let Them Talk”
WHY DON’T YOU DO RIGHT / Delicatessen / “My Baby Just Cares For Me”
CAUGHT YOU SPREADING YOUR LOVE AROUND / Uptown Vocal Jazz Quartet / “Hustlin’ For A Gig”
EVERYTHING HAPPENS TO ME / Ella Fitzgerald / “Hello Love”
SINCE I FELL FOR YOU / Mark Murphy & The Metropole Orch. / “The Dream”
PARIS MISMATCH / (Theme Music) / Cody Owen Stine
