BeBop Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 IS it just me, or does this playlist strike anyone else as odd? Randy Weston and Kenny G? Stan Kenton and Tuck and Patti? Obviously, nothing really 'out', but it looks like about half 'real jazz' and half 'pop jazz'. I'd have my finger on the channel changer constantly. 1. Estoril Soul - Gene Harris Quartet 2. Raincheck - Cedar Walton 3. Moondance - Ramsey Lewis & Nancy Wilson 4. Blue Moses - Randy Weston Quintet 5. St. Louis Blues - Gil Evans 6. It's Magic - Abbey Lincoln 7. Shutterbug - Steve Alfee 8. My One And Only Love - Stan Kenton 9. Jingle Bell Rock - Lou Rawls 10. Hold 'Em Joe - Sonny Rollins 11. For The First Time - Antonio Hart 12. If - Kenny G 4am 13. Night And Day - Etta James 14. Red Pepper Blues - Art Pepper 15. Scatsville - Michael Franks 16. I Wanna Be Loved - Dinah Washington 17. Let It Snow, Let It Snow - Chris Botti 18. Wave - Ahmad Jamal Trio 19. The Way You Look Tonight - Jon Lucien 20. Unison - Serge Chaloff 21. Tears Of Joy - Tuck & Patti 22. Groovin - BWB 23. Spirit Of The Season - Hiroshima Outro: Mr. Magic - Grover Washington, Jr. Closing song: The Lord's Prayer - Aaron Neville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Wood Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 No, based on the various djs tastes that seems about right. Its a mixture of hard bop programming with creamy smooth jazz or vocals. They do have a killer latin music line up several times a week.

Jim Alfredson Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 They play a lot of organissimo, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Sounds like a good way to try and attract/hold a broader audience. Nothing on there that would really piss me off except for Kenny G. The snooty dumping on of Botti is highly ill-advised, I think. The rest of the "smooth-ish" stuff on that list is stuff I've either not heard of, or people I have who do what they do decently enough. I'm in no way a fan, but I can put the ears on hold while it plays. But if a G-Fan accidentally hears some Randy Weston, hey, oh well...

Jim Alfredson Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I did an on-air interview with one of the DJs a few weeks ago... real cool cat we met in DC at Twins named Brian. It was a very fun interview, and very VERY interesting. We even had some callers join the discussion. It was a trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Pomea Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Eclectic show! When John Fahey died, Tom did a show on him, even interviewed Fahey's friend, Dick Spottswood. I was really surprised! It was a nice tribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
