The year's well underway and cruising at full speed again! No theme for today's show, but it is split in half. The first two hours contain older material, more traditional stuff like Dizzy, Wes and a few discs I picked up over the holidays. The last two hours contain newer, spacier stuff to go with where my musical mind's been at, lately; like NEXT Collective, 1969 Miles and Brad Upton. New jazz releases will tie it all together. Tune in Tuesday 1/20 from 3-7pm on 88.5FM in the WFCF listening area, or listen online here. See you then! - Kendo

Day After Christmas Playlist!

Norman Rockwell

I promised something special for Christmas on the 12/16 broadcast. Since there were so many Christmas jazz playlists posted this year, I opted for a Day After Christmas Playlist! Music to recover & reflect by... and help you to get "Carol of the Bells" out of your head. 17 tracks that run about 90 minutes. Hope you dig, and if you do - please share! It's a Youtube playlist, and all tracks were commercial free when I checked. Below the link is a list of songs in case you want to make it on another preferred music site. Happy Holidays! - Kendo
