Online radio sampler highlights XI

Selections that have stayed with me this evening:

WDCB (Glen Ellyn, IL)

• Seduction Of Spring-T Sisters (Appealing harmonies from three women; their CD, "Kindred Lines," also includes a good a cappella version of Paul Simon's "American Tune.")

WDNA (Miami, FL)

• Stranger In Paradise (Live)-Seamus Blake (Nice interplay between saxophone, piano, and bass in this expansive tune.)

WJPC (Chicago, IL)

• Thoughts And Wishes-Bohannon (A cool jazzy R&B track from 1975 that perks along on the piano, with vocal punctuation, at an easy pace.)

WNIU (DeKalb, IL)

• Ottorino Respighi: Brazilian Impressions (Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra/Jesus Lopez-Cobos, conductor) (Conveys the appeal, especially through violins and woodwinds, of Brazilian dances and the caution one needs when visiting a snake research institute.)

WNMC (Traverse City, MI)

• Can't Wait Another Day-The String Cheese Incident (Conjures up a fun, carnival-like atmosphere.)
