PLAYLIST FOR “THINGS WE KNOW AND DON’T KNOW” 4.11.26

8 Jun

The world is rife with confusion and doubt. And, of course, I want to help. I want to help but, full disclosure, I suck at solving problems. So instead I played two hours of songs about things we know and things we don’t know. Was this helpful? I don’t know.

PLAYLIST FOR “SPRING BREAK” (3.26.22)

27 Mar

I desperately need a break. I desperately need something to celebrate. I tried to combine the two with a tribute to Spring. But not without first opening the show with another Ukrainian jazz artist. I’m watching the world fall apart but from a distance. Living in Kyiv, Alina’s view is terrifyingly closer. Yet she tells me she and her family are safe and trying to stay positive. Glory to Ukraine!
