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

Playlist for 2-18-2014 WFCF - Jazz Greats!


"Trumpet Solo" - Kirstie Williams
acrylics on canvas
visit the artist's website!


If you enjoy the above painting, be sure to visit the artist's site, click on her gallery, and read the story behind this painting - very intriguing, and very musical!

I've been a bit preoccupied with the shows for the following weeks. So much so, that it took me 4 days to get this playlist together! But I prevailed! Some nice variety is in store; plus we'll continue examining "Happenings" by Bobby Hutcherson, check out 2 tracks from amazing horn man & arranger Gary Wofsey (and another from his equally astonishing wife Jill on flute). I'll spin a few from Larry Coryell to get you pumped about the interview with him on the March 4th show (!!); and as always we'll delve into the new jazz shelf at WFCF til we are sated with the latest sonics. Join me Tuesday 2/18 from 3-7pm EST. Listen online for free via iHeart by clicking here, or just tune in to 88.5 if you are in the listening area (St. Augustine, Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, So. Jacksonville, Ormond Beach). See you then! - Kendo
