Online radio sampler highlights XXXII

Six of the better tunes I've heard today:

KCSM (San Mateo, CA)
  • Mr. Lucky-Vince Guaraldi (Bossa nova meets easy listening in classy, lush fashion.)
  • Mambo De La Pinta-Art Pepper (If you're looking for a prototypical sax-led track to introduce someone to the mambo, you can hardly do better than this.)
KWMU-2 (St. Louis, MO)
  • Don't Fall Off The L.E.J.-Sean Jones (A swinging melody that demands your attention, thanks to Orrin Evans on piano and Jones on trumpet.)
KXZY (Stillwater, OK)
  • North-East To Nippon-Breakestra (A hip instrumental, seemingly derived from Sly & The Family Stone's "Sing A Simple Song" and The Meters.)
WRUV (Burlington, VT)
  • Crazy-Au Revoir Simone (This trio of women recorded one of 2013's catchier hooks.)
WUSC (Columbia, SC)
  • Feel-Petal (Kiley Lotz shows that sometimes, a voice and a guitar are enough to convey honest sentiments.)
