Playlist for 12-5-2017 WFCF - Baubles, Bangles and Beads!

203.04 carat De Beers Millennium Star Diamond


When I was a kid, the back of our world atlas had a guide to all the known precious stones. With some frequency I would sprawl out on the floor, crack that giant tome open and gaze at the dazzling pictures; even occasionally remembering the stone names. Let's just say that video games and home computers hadn't happened yet.

Anyway - I came across a half-finished playlist on my desktop and decided to follow through - hence this week we have the "Baubles, Bangles & Beads" show! Songs about gems and jewelry by the likes of MJQ, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Kenny Drew Jr., Stan Kenton, Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter and much more plus a few open slots for new releases. Tune in on Tuesday Dec 5th from 3-7pm eastern (with a break at 5) by clicking here. See you then! - Kendo

Kendo's CD Deal of the Week:



Joe Henderson "In Pursuit of Blackness/Black is the Color"
2 classic early 70's albums from an on-fire Henderson and equally charged bands featuring Curtis Fuller, George Cables, Lenny White, Stanley Clarke, Woody Shaw, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette! 2 tracks recorded live at the Lighthouse. Killer jazz!


Kendo's Mp3 Deal of the Week:



Wayne Shorter "Juju"
Classic stuff from a very productive period for Shorter. Coltrane band behind him - McCoy, Reggie & Elvin! Jazz standards galore including "Yes and No", "Deluge" & the title cut, with 2 alternate takes. A compelling listen!
