Playlist for 11-6-2018 WFCF - New Jazz, Daylight Savings & 1971

the album that started it all...

Daylight savings is the worst! Kudos to California for doing away with it this week. The show largely revolved around this contentious topic - with songs that had something to do with it ("day", "daylight", "hour", "daybreak" etc) - but first we delved into some of the best of the new jazz shelf for over an hour! Finally - we listened to some hefty tracks from the year 1971, and also payed tribute to the late Sonny Fortune. Thanks to all who tuned in! - Kendo

Visit the artist's website!

It's another themed show this week - the "Baby Baby Show"! All the song titles have the "B" word in them, although you'll find that most of the songs are decidedly not about infants ;)

At the station last week were 3 gargantuan boxes of Jazz cds for the taking, and of course I came prepared with a decent sized empty. We'll hear a couple of tracks from a few of those albums as well as a lot of other material that hasn't been aired on the show before (I love themed shows for that reason!); a few tasty jams from Miles and the show will conclude with a nice love-fest from Charles Lloyd's heyday (<I'm officially old.) Come say "hi" on the Facebook, and listen live via the iHeart! Four hours of baby jazz airs Tuesday 7/15 from 3-7pm eastern. See you then! - Kendo
