Among the better selections I heard today:

KKJZ (Long Beach, CA)

• How High The Moon-Nat King Cole Trio (One of Cole's many sublime piano instrumentals; it's gratifying to hear music recorded so long ago preserved so well digitally.)
• Nice Work If You Can Get It-Jennifer Porter (Smooth, silky vocals in this cover.)
• In Your Own Sweet Way-Dave Brubeck (Lush strings enhance Brubeck's tasteful piano arrangement.)

KZSU (Stanford, CA)

• Heroes And Villains-The Beach Boys (Some of the group's most imaginative harmonizing.  For a lounge arrangement with a hint of Wilbert Harrison's "Kansas City" in it, check out the Geraint Watkins version.)

WCRB (Boston, MA)

• Joaquin Rodridgo: Concierto de Aranjuez: III. Allegro gentile (Orpheus Chamber Orchestra; Goran Sollscher, guitar) (It would be refreshing to hear more Classical stations play movements such as this one--or more guitar pieces, in general.)

WVUD (Newark, DE)

• What's Been Going On-Amos Lee (A true-to-life read on what it's like to be on the outside of a situation looking in.)

WXYC (Chapel Hill, NC)

• Molasses-Hiatus Kaiyote (New jazzy R&B with intriguing female lead vocals.)
