The theme for this week's show is "W". More specifically - the sets are divided up into who, what, when, where & why.

(photograph - Francis Wolff)

This week's theme is "Black & Blue"! All song titles have the word 'black' or 'blue' in them. We hit up most of the 'black' songs in my library last week, but I saved a few for this show. For the 'blue' songs I tried to stay away from titles like "Blues for Alice", so we wouldn't have a whole show of 12 bar heads. Plenty of interesting material - can't wait to spin it!

As always we'll be hitting up the new jazz shelf at WFCF, and a special treat last set for folks who stay tuned to the end. All this Tuesday, April 22nd, from 3-7pm Eastern.

Old favorites and new superstars, classic tracks and hidden diamonds... quite a few albums added to my own collection for this event, and still more from the WFCF library being played for the first time on this show. Warning: Godzilla will be vocalizing! However, his antics will be represented by instrumental performances of towering giants of jazz. Two vocal numbers for every one instrumental; odds are on the gals! Tune in Tuesday February 25th for the mayhem and melody, scatting, warbling, cooing, wailing and destruction!

Well - it's happened. We've reached the end of summer, so this will be the last themed show for a while. But it's a good one: "The Night"! Songs about dreamy things, mysterious things, spooky things, lonely things, amazing things, lofty things, lowly things & since we are talking about music here, romantic things. If you are sad to see the themed shows leave, have no fear - next week I have something very special planned; and in October we'll embark on a new, fun way of exploring the Jazz Greats. Meanwhile - we'll celebrate the music of the nocturnal this Tuesday (9/17) from 3-7pm Eastern. Listen online anywhere in the US by clicking here. Bring a sweater and meet me then! - Kendo

Playlist for 8-6-2013 WFCF - Jazz Greats Heavenly Bodies!

"Luna y Venus" - Tore Bellis
Exposure blending of two shots of the Moon and Venus, taken 27 Feb 2009
Visit the artist's website!

This weeks show was the first of two space-themed shows for August: "Heavenly Bodies". We started off innocently enough with fun jazz about moon & stars . At 4pm the spacier jazz began as we launched out on a 2 hour voyage; starting at the Sun, then outward, visiting most of the planets in our Solar System, and then beyond! At 6pm we headed "back to earth". We delved a bit into the new jazz shelf; including "Vigil" from the spaciest of jazz trekkers, Chick Corea!
