Online radio sampler highlights LIX

Standout selections heard this afternoon:

KAFM (Grand Junction, CO)
  • East Of The Sun (West Of The Moon) (Live)-Diana Krall (Krall cooks on piano and vocals on this cover of the Brooks Bowman-penned tune.  Krall sounds freer in concert here than on some of her studio recordings.)
KEXP (Seattle, WA)
  • Simpatico-NAVVI (Sly, haunting dance/trance music; Kristin Henry's vocals on this track approximate how Loreena McKennitt might sound in this genre.)
WKZE (Red Hook, NY)
  • Fire On The Bayou-The Neville Brothers (I hear aspects of Earth, Wind & Fire in the backing vocals and horn arrangement; that's never a bad thing.)
  • I Can't Help Myself-Miss Tess (Powerful, commanding, bluesy vocals.)
WSUM (Madison, WI)
  • J.S. Bach: Cello Suite No. 6 In D major, BWV 1012: II. Allemande (Viola de Hoog, cello) (de Hoog plays this movement with moving depth and sensitivity.)
