Just a Taste - April 24, 2010

2010-04-25T22:27:00.000-07:00

Today's program was a rebroadcast of the first in the current series. The original broadcast date was December 19, 2009. You can find the playlist by going to the archive.

The next program (May 1) will be a new one, spotlight artist as yet unchosen.

In the meantime, join me for the Album of the Day on Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday's album is High and Ridin' by Wayne Cochran and his C.C. Riders, a good big band album from an unexpected source. Arrangements by Tony Klatka, compositions by Horace Silver, Charles Mingus, Oliver Nelson, Stevie Wonder, and...Bobby Gentry! The version of Ode to Billie Joe is very tasty.

Thursday's album is Live at the Jazz Workshop, the debut album by vocalist Kitty Margolis. Excellent start for a fine singer who has gone on to become one of the premier voices of the San Francisco area.

2010-04-03T21:40:00.000-07:00

The encore broadcast of Just a Taste has been moved to Wednesday evenings at 8:00 PM (Pacific). I hope you'll join me then...

...and at noon (Pacific) for the Album of the Day. I've done a few of them already, and there are more in the queue. It's a fun opportunity to hear an album in its entirety, perhaps one with which you're not familiar. The albums for the week are listed on the KRML home page.

As always, I'd be delighted to hear from listeners via e-mail. There's an e-mail link at the top of this blog page, just under my photograph. I'll try to acknowledge or respond as quickly as I can.

Today was also Gerald Wilson's 90th birthday! I've been a big fan of Gerald's music since the 1960s, and I was able to do an extra half-hour of just Gerald's recordings. I could have actually played an entire day's worth of his music, but I hope you got a chance to hear, and enjoy, this all-too-brief survey.
