Well - it's happened. We've reached the end of summer, so this will be the last themed show for a while. But it's a good one: "The Night"! Songs about dreamy things, mysterious things, spooky things, lonely things, amazing things, lofty things, lowly things & since we are talking about music here, romantic things. If you are sad to see the themed shows leave, have no fear - next week I have something very special planned; and in October we'll embark on a new, fun way of exploring the Jazz Greats. Meanwhile - we'll celebrate the music of the nocturnal this Tuesday (9/17) from 3-7pm Eastern. Listen online anywhere in the US by clicking here. Bring a sweater and meet me then! - Kendo

A constant in my childhood - we had two copies!

Today's show had all kinds of variety and thought provoking sounds, spanning 7 decades of jazz! The overall vibe was pretty chill - a nice November afternoon listening to tunes, and snacking on those white Oreos with chocolate centers. Next show will be Dec. 4th. Thanks for stopping by! - DJ Kendo
