This week’s show is all about crisp music. To me, the springtime is all about crisp & neat & sleek & light.
We even get to hear Sammy Davis, Jr. do impressions of Jimmy Stewart, Jimmy Cagney & Cary Grant & more.
Enjoy!

This week’s episode is spring-like, because it is finally somewhat spring-like here in the Northeast.
So, there’s that. But, I also bring you a special version of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ blending the Original London Cast album with one of my favorite bands in The Afghan Whigs doing a few covers, too.
Whatever it is you’re celebrating – in my case, just being alive & the wide-scale availability of chocolate! – I wish you nothing but well.
Enjoy!

This week’s show is a special show as it’s the 100th episode of this mostly-weekly musical adventure I bring to you.
This particular episode is all about the basics that got me into this idiom at all. They’re called “standards” for a reason.
Enjoy!

This is a pretty special show today. My friends at “Vinyl Me, Please” – the monthly record club to which I belong – inspired me to bring you over an hour of sax music with having selected The Ben Webster Quintet record for vinyl of the month in December. So, you’ll hear two cuts from that record, but you’ll also hear Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Sonny Rollins & more.
Also, we have selections from Once – The Musical. Some tunes from the movie, too, as well as a special performance from Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova as “The Swell Season” with an 8th Grade choir backing them up on “Falling Slowly.”
But, we start with a special set of music for a special set of people – Ken & Carmen Corrigan. I just call them Aunt Carmen & Uncle Ken. February 6th 2015 was their 50th wedding anniversary. They love Bobby Darin, so I open with him.
Enjoy!
PS: Below you’ll find the clip of the acceptance speech from Glen & Marketa when they won the Oscar for Best Original Song from “Once.”
