Online radio sampler highlights CV

Seven highlights from recent days:

KPTZ (Port Townsend, WA)
  • Barnyard Boogie-Louis Jordan & His Tympani Five (Why shouldn't farm animals have their own groove?  Jordan brings their clucks and moos to life.)
  • Ain't Misbehavin'-Dinah Washington (Warm vocals and piano; I'm convinced that anyone who sings these sentiments this convincingly truly is saving her love for one special person.)
  • Confess-The Mills Brothers (When you want to know how someone feels about you, this is one of the most tuneful, polite ways to ask.)
KVSF (Santa Fe, NM)
  • That's My Kick-Erroll Garner (Out for a stroll?  This is your piano accompaniment.)
  • Takin' Care-Hampton Hawes Quartet (Out for another stroll?  This is your piano accompaniment.)
WUMB (Boston, MA)
  • Yellow Coat-Wendy MacIsaac & Mary Jane Lamond (An engaging reel for fiddle and guitar that grows more intense gradually.)
  • Poor William-Barrule (I can imagine Nickel Creek covering this, with Chris Thile on vocals.)
