Playlist for 6-25-12 WFCF

So my first time on the air (as a dj) went pretty well! Nervous, but I got the job done - with a little Kenny style. Once I get to know the ropes more it should be more fun to listen to. Below is the music I programmed from 3pm - 5pm on WFCF St. Augustine 88Five.

1. Jazz Samba Project - E Luxo So*
2. Steve Kuhn -  Permanent Wave*
3. Brian Bromberg - Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?*
4. Piero Odorici w/ Cedar Walton Trio - If I Should Love You*
5. Hubert Laws - Black Eyed Peas and Rice
6. Arturo Sandoval - Birk's Works*
7. Freddie Hubbard - Fantasy in D
8. Zach Bartholomew Trio - Lover's Lament
9. Herb Silverstein & Friends - A French Wedding
10. Art Farmer w/ Yusef Lateef - Flute Song

17. Bill Evans Trio - Jade Visions**
18. Cal Tjader - Afro Blue

* - selections from the new jazz bin at WFCF

** - featured album "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" recorded on this date 51 years ago (June 25th, 1961). The Bill Evans Trio played 5 one-hour sets that day, the last of a 2 week engagement equally billed with Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. The recordings were culled from all the sets. Ten days later Scott LaFaro crashed into a tree heading upstate NY and died instantly. The 2 selections played today were his brilliant compositions.

My next time on the air will be a classical slot on July 4th from 11am to 1pm - I'll be celebrating this awesome holiday with music by American composers - like Gottschalk, Gershwin, Grofé, Copland, Antheil, Reich, Bernstein and more!
