Six recommended tunes heard this afternoon:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)-The Puppini Sisters (This impressive cover features vocal harmonies reminiscent of and building upon the style of The Andrews Sisters.)
- Roll Out The Barrel-The Accordion Polka Band (Yes, really. Vocally and instrumentally, this version is fit for a parade float.)
- Pata Pata-Miriam Makeba (A well-known, much-covered dance number with strategically placed spoken word interludes about the dance. A dance this joyous should have a difficult time wearing out its welcome.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- So Live-Soulive (A cool, keyboard-propelled groove with a bounce.)
- How High The Moon-Janet Evra & Ptah Williams (This is yet another elegant vocals-and-piano cover from this duo.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- Summer Girl-Haim (A well-sustained rhythm and quietly self-assured vocals. The saxophone gives an already strong group an interesting new dimension.)
