It’s a multi-tasking world. For instance, I’m tap dancing while I type this (which could explain all of the typos). What does my audience do while listening to Turntable For One?

PLAYLIST FOR “ELLA FITZGERALD CHALLENGES THE WORLD!” (9.24.16)

26 Sep

This week Ella Fitzgerald took on all comers in a head-to-head, well, really a voice-to-voice competition. She sang standards and some surprising duets; she even challenged Sarah Vaughan in a “forgetting the lyrics” competition (Sarah won) and challenged Shirley Horn to a “slow singing” competition (Shirley won). But it was impossible to listen to this show without marveling at Ella’s musicality and her warmth and without feeling fortunate that we had her for so long.

WMNR Fine Arts Radio was celebrating another Musical Theme Week, “Gone Fishin'”. 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 “THE (LOST) ART OF WRITING LETTERS” (5.14.16)

16 May

Remember when 140 characters meant a Tolstoy novel, not our major means of communicating with each other? Remember when Snail Mail referred to the gender of a specie, not to the U.S. Postal Service? Remember when a sound bite was an accident with the neighbor’s dog, not a statement by a politician? (Although you’d probably be wise to get a rabies shot after both of those events.) We seem to have lost a number of things these days – skills such as logic, empathy, listening. This week I thought I’d tackle the lost art of letter writing with a couple dozen wonderful songs and singers on the topic.

TAKE A LETTER, MISS JONES / Mel Torme / “Live At Marty’s”
LOVE LETTERS / Natalie Cole / “Stardust”
I’M GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND WRITE MYSELF A LETTER / Frank Sinatra / “Sinatra/Basie: The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings”

MR. SANDMAN / Anita O’Day & Cal Tjader / “Time For Two”
POSTCARD LOVERS / Stacey Kent / “Dreamer In Concert”
P.S. I LOVE YOU / Jimmy Scott / “Over The Rainbow”
FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT / Leonard Cohen / “The Essential Leonard Cohen”
DEAR BIX / Renee Yoxon & Chad Linsley / “Impossible: Live At Musideum”
TONY BENNETT / Kevin Mahogany / “Old, New, Borrowed, And The Blues”
TOO MARVELOUS FOR WORDS / Helen Merrill / “Casa Forte”
YOU’RE THE TOP / (Mystery Vocalist) / Cary Grant & Ginny Sims / “Music of Cole Porter”
MONA LISA / Keith Jarrett / “Tokyo 96”
SMITTEN WITH YOU / Lorraine Feather / “Attachments”
HONEY PIE / Tuck & Patty / “Love Warriors”
HEY JOHN / Blossom Dearie / “Blossom Dearie Sings”
HEY YOU WITH THE CRAZY EYES / Loston Harris / “Swingfully Yours”
BABY, WON’T YOU PLEASE COME HOME / Champian Fulton / “After Dark”
MEET ME AT NO SPECIAL PLACE / Maud Hixson / “Love’s Refrain”
LONELY TIME / Maynard Ferguson / “Message From Birdland”
YOU’RE DRIVING ME CRAZY / Curtis Stigers / “Secret Heart”
DEARLY BELOVED / Nancy Wilson / “Hollywood My Way”
THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT / Tony Bennett / “Rarities, Outtakes, & Other Delights, Vol. 2””
HURRY IT’S LOVELY UP HERE / Mark Jennett / “Everybody Says Don’t”
DON’T SMOKE IN BED / Nina Simone / “Little Girl Blue”
PARIS MISMATCH / (Theme Music) / Cody Owen Stine

PLAYLIST FOR “DRINKING AGAIN” & “SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN” (ARCHIVE SHOWS) #jazz #jazzradio #jazzsingers

24 Apr

I dusted off a couple shows from the Turntable For One archives and took the weekend off. Miss me? Well, I’ve been getting ready for an extra-special show this coming Saturday. Be here Wednesday and I’ll give you a hint.

For those of you who can’t get through an hour of me without a drink or two, this show was for you!

DRINKING AGAIN

SONG TITLE / Artist / Album or CD Title

THE DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES / Anita O’Day / “Anita O’Day”
SCOTCH AND SODA / The Kingston Trio / “The Kingston Trio Greatest Hits”
THE WHIFFENPOOF SONG / Claire Hogan / “Boozers And Losers”
ONE FOR MY BABY / Tony Bennett / “Live At The Sahara”
DRINKING AGAIN / Frank Sinatra / “Nothing But The Best”
VODKA / Victoria Hart / “The Lost Gershwin”
CHAMPAGNE / Kat Edmonson / “Way Down Low”

LADIES WHO LUNCH / Elaine Stritch / “Company”

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN

What’s the difference between a Dream and a Plan? Well, I’ve been having a lot of bad dreams lately, a lot of bad plans, too. Dreams aren’t real and they don’t come true…of course, most of my plans don’t come true, either. You know, maybe there’s no difference at all. Both of them end in disappointment and heartache – but not when singers like the ones I played are singing about plans they’re making!
