PLAYLIST FOR “MUSICAL COMFORT FOOD” (1.9.21)

Well, that didn’t take very long, 2021. You went from an exhilarating high on Tuesday to an abysmal low on Wednesday. In utter disbelief of events we all were watching, I looked for a modicum of solace, peace, and even hope from a familiar source: comfort food – ice cream, mashed potatoes, peanut butter on matzoh. And this week on the show, instead of an ironic theme, I decided just to share some of my go-to musical comfort food – songs and musicians I turn to when I need them most. And, boy, I really needed them this week.

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.

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”

PLAYLIST FOR “POSITIVE VIBES” (11.14.20)

15 Nov

I tried a little experiment this week – an experiment in terror for me, that is. Could I send out nothing but positive vibes and eschew my inherent pessimism for an entire two hours? It seems to me the times demand this kind of sacrifice and I went for it with a collection of positive songs, positive singers, positive people (a mini-tribute to Fred Rogers), and a few of my favorite oh-so-positive vibes players – messers Gibbs, Wolfe, and Jackson. And for an extra treat – maybe for me only – I did the show live and in person at the station, something that’s not going to happen again until the infection rates really start to dive.

PLAYLIST FOR “HALLOWEEN PARTY – 2020” (10.31.20)

1 Nov

I did a live show this week if only to see if I remembered how to turn on the mic (though I’m sure there were those in the audience hoping I’d forgotten how). But my annual Halloween party is one of my favorite shows of the year because Trick or Treaters always come to the door and I get to guess their costumes and then pass out an appropriate song instead of candy. I ended the show with a reminder about setting their clocks back an hour Saturday night (hoping we don’t turn the clocks back a couple decades on Tuesday).

11 Oct

Saturday was World Mental Health Day. So, of course, I wanted to play two hours of positive, motivating, and encouraging songs. JUST KIDDING!! Doing that would have made me part of the solution, not part of the problem. That’s not the way I roll.

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

4 Oct

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 “MEMORY PROBLEMS” (9.29.20)

27 Sep

In the past I’ve done shows on “whistling” and “dancing.” Why did I choose those themes? Because those are two things I’ve never been able to do. In my life! I also can’t roll my tongue but, come on – if you can get two hours of songs out of that theme, you should be doing my show. In picking themes, I gotta go with what I know. So Memory Problems, songs about remembering and forgetting, was an obvious choice. I finished the show with a poem/prayer sung in Hebrew by Sophie Milman. I couldn’t let RBG’s passing go without some kind of celebration.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

WHERE OR WHEN / Frank Sinatra & Count Basie / “Sinatra At The Sands”
I’LL REMEMBER APRIL / Sinne Eeg / “Dreams”
I REMEMBER YOU / George Michael / “Songs From The Last Century”

WHAT DID I FORGET? / Susannah McCorkle / “Hearts & Minds”
FORGETFUL / Chet Baker / “Embraceable You”
THANKS FOR THE MEMORY / Stacey Kent / “Dreamsville”
THESE FOOLISH THINGS / Nat King Cole / “The Billy May Sessions”
GET HAPPY / Lucy Dixon / “Lulu’s Back In Town”
TRY TO REMEMBER / (Mystery Vocalist) / Ed McMahon / “And Me…I’m Ed McMahon”
MEMORIES OF YOU / Carol Welsman / “Memories Of You”
REMEMBERING / Avishai Cohen / “At Home”
SWEET KENTUCKY HAM / Dave Frishberg / “Classics”
DID I REMEMBER / Emily Asher / “Emily Asher’s Garden Party”
MEMORY IN BLACK AND WHITE / Nikki Lorenzo & Sasha’s Bloc / “Club Rendezvous”
THE WAY WE WERE / Johnny Hartman / “Boston Concert 1976”
YOU WON’T FORGET ME / Shirley Horn / “You Won’t Forget Me”

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.)

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

HERE’S TO THE LOSERS / Frank Sinatra / ”Softly As I Leave You”
