PLAYLIST FOR “SUCKERS AND LOSERS” (9.12.20)

13 Sep

I don’t know why I thought of this theme. Must be something in the air. So I played some of my favorite sucker/loser songs; and after half an hour, I told the audience that I’d been suckering them into thinking I was just doing another one of those ironic themes. I dedicated the rest of the show to musicians, singers, composers, and lyricist who are/were definitely non-suckers and non-losers. Not only have they served to create, expand, and embolden the world of jazz, but also they served this country in its military forces. (I also took a moment or two to grieve the passing of Gary Peacock.)

I LOVE BEING HERE WITH YOU / TSgt Paige Martin & US Air Force Airmen Of Note / “Airmen Of Note Live”
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL / Tony Bennett & B. B. King / “Playin’ With My Friends”
LET’S GET AWAY FROM IT ALL / The Dave Brubeck Quartet / “Angel Eyes”
ALICE IN WONDERLAND / Dave Brubeck & Roberta Gambarini / “Everybody Wants To Be A Cat”
NIGHT AND DAY / Willie Nelson / “My Way”
SHINY STOCKINGS / Lambert, Hendricks, & Bavan / “At Basin Street East”
LI’L DARLIN’ / The Real Group / “Live In Stockholm”
