FM dial scan highlights CXXVII

Standout tracks heard today:

KDHX 88.1 FM
  • Stolen Moments-Oliver Nelson (A sly, expansive melody that, to me, conjures up images of a desolate street and reminds me of a Miles Davis ballad.)
  • Koko-Charlie Parker (An example of why Parker is so renowned: Not just any saxophonist can play with such precision and joy at such a rapid-fire tempo.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
  • I'm All Ears-Cindy Bradley (A fresh breeze of an uptempo trumpet groove, reminiscent of Herb Alpert and Hugh Masekela's late '70s trumpet stylings.)
  • Tom Sawyer-The Bad Plus (This classic Rush tune works well as a piano instrumental when played with this amount of force.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
  • Tight Rope-Leon Russell (A fitting metaphor, lyrically, for some relationships.)
