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

A certain celebrated revolution around the sun has infused my library with a bunch of 'new' additions, including "Tokyo Debut" from Art Pepper, an album simply called "Jazz Messengers", "Throb" from Gary Burton, Kenyon Hopkins kookiness and some very old Prestige recordings, for starters. A bunch more will weave their way into the playlist as I get to know them better. I'm also pretty excited about the new jazz shelf at WFCF, some very hot releases to spin. Tune in from 3-7pm eastern on WFCF St. Augustine 88.5FM, or listen online via iHeart for free by clicking here. See you then! - Kendo
