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

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
