Playlist for 8-19-2014 WFCF - Black & Blue Show!!

(photograph - Francis Wolff)

This week's theme is "Black & Blue"! All song titles have the word 'black' or 'blue' in them. We hit up most of the 'black' songs in my library last week, but I saved a few for this show. For the 'blue' songs I tried to stay away from titles like "Blues for Alice", so we wouldn't have a whole show of 12 bar heads. Plenty of interesting material - can't wait to spin it! Tune in Tuesday August 19 from 3-7pm eastern. Listen online here.  See you then! - KendoCome say "hi" on Twitter!

New Show!

In addition to hosting "Jazz Greats" on WFCF and iHeart, I now also have a new, weekly jazz hour in syndication called "Kendo's Jazz Sampler". The emphasis is on fun and positive selections - an hour of music to make you feel good! The show can be heard Monday mornings at 6am Eastern on WNHU New Haven, and Wednesday mornings at 11am Pacific on Radio KSCR in Los Angeles. Both broadcasts can be listened to online for free at their websites.

Just below the header of this page is a tab for the new show, where you can find the playlist for each week's broadcast. I'll announce when more stations bring the show on board! Hope you like! - Kendo
