Happy New Year to Jazz Fans (and everyone else) Update!

I am working on a new show, and I plan to produce a podcast to go with it.  The next show will feature some insufficiently sung side men: Marion Brown, Andrew Cyrille, and Reggie Workman.  That's as far as I have thought it through.  

Update!  I have a playlist completed now.  In  addition to the artists mentioned above, you will hear some Grachan Moncur III and Booker Ervin.  Again: Happy New Year! 

Playlist for the Low Horns Show

The "low horns" show features a lot of slithering sound, with some exceptions thrown in to clear the pallet.  It will have to do for a while, as I will be traveling.  But I will try to do something while on the road.  Merry Christmas!

New Show Up on Live365: the Low Horns

I have been having a very bad no good week with my computers.  While I try to get one of my laptops fixed, I am having terrible trouble with iTunes.  Anyway, I have posted a new playlist.  It's finals week here at NSU and I have had no time to record comments.  The music is in random order but it does have a theme: the low horns.  You'll hear a lot of base clarinets, baritone saxes, a trombone or two.  I like the low horns. 

I will try to get a list here of the music played.  Just right now Jazz Note is a mess.  I am hoping to do better.  Anyway, give the new show a listen if you can and let me know what you think.  I need encouragement!

And Merry Christmas.

My Laptop Died

And with it went this week's show.  I won't have time tomorrow to rebuild a show complete with my insightful and informative commentary, or even my shallow and uninformative comments.  I am going to try to put three hours of music on my Live365 station.  It will be as advertised in recent posts.  I hope.  

Jazz Note 5: Dave Brubeck plus some low horns

I will probably not get the next show online by tomorrow night.  I am working on a couple of things, though.  I want to produce a podcast version of the show, probably to be hosted on Podbean.  That way you can put it on your iPod.  

Jazz Note 5 will feature a few tunes in honor of Dave Brubeck, who celebrates his 90th birthday on Monday and, with no obvious connection, a celebration of low horns in jazz.  You'll hear some Trane, some Dolphy, some more David Murray, and some Gil Melle.
