Playlist for 4-8-2014 WFCF - Jazz Greats Florida!

"St. Augustine Lighthouse ACEO" - Kenneth Frissell
painting
Visit the artist's website!

This week's show is almost entirely made up of music by artists living in, or born in, or associated with Florida. As always with these themed shows, it's not intended to be a definitive collection; there is no Marcus Roberts, Sam Rivers, Doug Carn or Ira Sullivan this time around. The ultimate goal was a pleasing sound and songs that sit well together. The final hour and a half took on a neat little mood, quite different from normal, and the first half of the show has full sets from both Sam Jones and Cannonball Adderley. I had a lot of fun putting this one together, and it kept me up kind of late! <yawwwn!> Tune in Tuesday April 8th from 3-7pm Eastern. See you then! - Kendo

"Untitled" - Evalina Oliveira
painting
Visit the artist's website!

Red Jackets Only show! Only cds/albums with red as the featured (or only) color on the cover get played! The idea for this themed show came from listening to Brad Upton's "Lionheart" album, the artwork thereof being quite red. As always - the theme caused me to examine albums that otherwise don't get much of my attention for whatever reason. I enjoy that, and it adds variety to the broadcast. After finishing the playlist, I discovered a whole bunch more albums with very red artwork, so there will most certainly be a 2nd edition. Meanwhile - enjoy the redness! Listen live Tuesday January 21st from 3-7pm EST on 88.5FM WFCF if you are in the listening area, or online via iHeart by clicking here. See you then - Kendo
