HINT FOR THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (2.6.16) #jazz #jazzradio #jazzsingers

HINT:

I’ve been trying to recover from this cold so that I’m ready for the big game. We’ve been waiting a year for this grudge match and it’ll be exciting to see if the experienced pros take it all or if any new and eager young talent steal the show. I just hope someone puts a seatbelt on Kanye West. What? Kanye isn’t on the Broncos or the Panthers? Who said anything about football?

HINT ABOUT THIS SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME (1.16.16) #jazz #jazzradio #jazzsingers

14 Jan

HINT:

I won’t be in the studio this week because I’ve been granted an exclusive interview with El Chapo for the A.A.R.P. magazine.

Sitting in for me will be Fred Velardi, host of WMNR’s Tuesday Morning Classics, and I know Fred will give you two hours of jazz and jazz vocals that will be entertaining, engaging, and thoughtful. But don’t get used to it. I’ll be back on January 23rd.

PLAYLIST FOR “SO LONELY I COULD CRY” (1.9.16)

10 Jan

As Turntable For One moves into its new time-slot (now 9:00-11:00 PM) I wanted to do a show about being all alone in the radio station since my friend, Dan Lenore, has retired his show which preceded mine.

WHY IS THIS MAN SMILING? #jazz #jazzradio #jazzsingers

2 Jan

Why is this man smiling? (Sadly, this is what actually passes for this man smiling.) He’s smiling because starting tonight, January 2nd, his radio show, Turntable For One, moves to 9:00 PM with two hours of great jazz vocals interrupted occasionally by this man talking and, perhaps, even smiling – who can tell? It’s radio.

The theme for this first two-hour show: Music That Changed My Life!

Happy New Year, everyone!
