Six of the better tunes I've heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- J'arrive A Toi-Carla Bruni (Downcast and reflective; a tasteful vocals-and-guitar number acknowledging that life will attempt to break you sometimes.)
- Hey Hey What D'ya Say-Mike Plume Band (This is a different version of Plume's than the one I'm used to. The instrumental backing is more sparse in this rendition, giving the vocals more prominence and making the tune sound more like a sing-along jig fit for a pub.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- The Vibe-Roy Hargrove (A cookin' trumpet groove, as expected; multiple versions of "When The Saints Go Marchin' In" would flow well into it.)
- One Note Samba-Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd (The best, hippest version of this tune, thanks to Getz's airy, expansive tenor sax playing and Byrd's pleasant guitar work.)
- Yes-Kait Dunton (Joe Sample's "Sermonized" would sound smooth before this piano-centered instrumental.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
- Carolina In The Pines-Michael Martin Murphey (A thoughtful way of saying you know you're with the right person in the right place; the guitar, banjo, and piano enhance the vocals effectively. I'm glad to know there was a time, i.e. 1975, when there was a place for this on the pop charts.)
