FM dial scan highlights CXXVI

Five noteworthy tunes heard today:

KDHX 88.1 FM

• No, It Ain't My Fault-Olympia Brass Band (The midtempo oomph of Dirty Dozen Brass Band's "Open Up (Whatcha Gonna Do For The Rest Of Your Life?)" sounds compatible with this track.)

WSIE 88.7 FM

• Boplicity-Miles Davis (A "Birth Of The Cool" highlight; it's a pleasure to hear this early Miles track that has more of a big band feel than his later work.  Also recommended: "Godchild.")
• This I Dig Of You-Ptah Williams Trio (Cookin' synchronicity among the piano, bass, and drums.)

KCLC 89.1 FM

• Hand Over My Heart-The Secret Sisters (Some of the more endearing lyrics I've heard about the realization that we all have baggage--and that it doesn't have to crush our optimism.)

WFUN 95.5 FM

• Through The Fire-Chaka Khan (A powerfully sung ballad; I always looked forward to playing this when it came up on KNJZ's playlist.)
