PLAYLIST FOR “NEW HOLIDAY MUSIC 2021” (12.11.21)

It’s that time of year again. The season of Peace On Earth and Good Will toward Men. How’s that going so far? Not great, I know. Why not? I think this is clearly another example of a supply chain problem. Still, there are some who have tried to spread holiday spirit undaunted by pandemics and politics and vaccination vexations. I mean the singers, songwriters, and musicians who created a ton of new holiday CDs and music. They were the stars this week.

PLAYLIST FOR “WINNING SINGERS-LOSING SONGS” (4.24.21)

25 Apr

It’s time for the Oscars again. And, yes, you can fault the Oscars for being over-the-top – over the top egos, over the top vanity, over the top self-adulation. On the other hand, what do people who don’t win usually say? “It’s an honor just to be nominated.” And I can’t remember anyone at the Oscars insisting the voting was rigged or asking for a recount. I’m just saying… So in honor of the Academy Awards, I brought back a longtime Turntable for One tradition, listening to some wonderful Oscar nominated songs. Not the winners! Instead I presented a couple of hours of winning singers singing Oscar losing songs.

PLAYLIST FOR “UNIMPEACHABLE LOVE SONGS” (2.13.21)

14 Feb

After doing about a dozen Valentine’s Day shows over the years, I needed something new for this year’s theme. Out of the blue this theme came to me. I don’t know why I thought of it. The show was a mix of love songs, plus a few Valentine gifts to myself and a number of song dedications from the audience. In the end, I believe I acquitted myself well. And, acquittal is all the matters, right?

PLAYLIST FOR “CONTRAFACTUM – AN ARCHIVE RE-BROADCAST” (12.26.20)

27 Dec

Out with the old? That’s what I did. I played an archive show from last June as the final program for this wretched year. Let’s hope for better – and I mean the new year, certainly not my shows. Here’s what I wrote in June:

Contrafactum – it’s not just a word on Jeopardy. Contrafactum are two different songs with the same melody but different lyrics. To jazz musicians, they are two tunes with the same chordal structure. (I tossed a few of those in for good measure – excuse the pun.) Who said educational radio is dead? Probably somebody who has listened to my show.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

OH! LOOK AT ME NOW / Mark Jennett / “Everybody Says Don’t”
OH! LOOK AT ME NOW / Monica Ramey & The Beegie Adair Trio / “Monica Ramey & The Beegie Adair Trio”

SHINY STOCKINGS / Lambert, Hendricks, & Bavan / “At Basin Street East”
SHINY STOCKINGS / Ella Fitzgerald & Count Basie / “Ella & Basie”
I GUESS I’LL HAVE TO CHANGE MY PLAN / Mel Torme & Jonathan Schwartz / “Mel Torme & Friends”
L’HYMNE A L’AMOUR / Sarah Lancman / “Parisienne”
IF YOU LOVE ME / Shirley Horn / “Here’s To Life”
LULLABY OF BIRDLAND / Chloe Perrier & The French Heart Jazz Band / “Petit Fleur”
LULLABY OF BIRDLAND / Kelley Johnson / “Something Good”
I GET A KICK OUT OF YOU / Patricia Barber / “The Cole Porter Mix”
THAT’S MY KICK / Erroll Garner / “That’s My Kick”
PRAYER – THE BAD IN EVERY MAN – BLUE MOON / Allegra Levy / “Looking At The Moon”
ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT / Babs Gonzales / “Weird Lullaby”
ROUND MIDNIGHT / Carmen McRae / “Carmen McRae In London”
ROUND MIDNIGHT / Sting / “Green Chimneys: The Music Of Thelonius Monk”

PLAYLIST FOR “FLATTERY WILL GET YOU…” (10.3.20)

It was that time again, time to ask people to put their money where my mouth is. Otherwise known as Fall Pledge Week. Remembering that you catch more flies with honey, I knew immediately the last thing I wanted to do was attract flies.

PLAYLIST FOR “IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU” (4.18.20)

19 Apr

Week after week after week, for the last ten years, this show has been about three things: me, myself, and I. Sure, I’ve talked now and then about the audience and me being a team – but I’ve recently been reminded that there’s no “I” in team. And you can’t spell Turntable without “U”. So this week all of the music was dedicated and focussed on YOU. I figure after sucking up to the audience for two hours in ten years, things can get back to normal next week.

PLAYLIST FOR “SOMETHING GOOD MIGHT HAPPEN” (6.8.19)

9 Jun

I’m have always been a “the-glass-is-half-empty” kind of guy. (I also worry who’s been drinking from that glass.) Why? Growing up, my family had a clear and distinct world view: “Something bad might happen.” So this week I challenged – no, I dared myself to look through the eyes of people who actually (and inexplicably) see the world positively. I played song after song about things possibly going right and how to make that happen. Happily I got through it but only by repeating my daily, personal affirmation: “What on earth were you thinking?”

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

SOMETHING’S COMING / Lilly Thornton / “Something’s Coming”
A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP / Tony Bennett / “Tony Makes it Happen”
THIS COULD BE THE START OF SOMETHING BIG / Monica Ramey / “Monica Ramey & The Beegie Adair Trio”
IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU / Johnny Hartman / “This One’s For Tedi”
FROM THIS MOMENT ON / The Carpenters / “The Essential Collection”
WATCH WHAT HAPPENS / Joe Williams / “Joe Williams Live In Las Vegas”
