Six of the more appealing tunes I've heard this morning:
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Millie-Blue Mitchell (Mitchell's strong, melodic trumpet playing deserves more recognition than it usually gets, so I'm glad that WSIE plays multiple tracks of his. This track, released in 1967, is a well-sustained, hip-for-its-time melody. If you think the bop style isn't for you, perhaps this will change your mind.)
- Undulation-Kayla Waters (A pleasant, uptempo smooth jazz release from June, which Waters propels on piano.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
- Night By Night-Steely Dan (An overlooked album track. Lyrically, this is an effective way of underscoring that someone takes too many risks...)
- Pandora's Box-Procol Harum (...and it segues appropriately with these lyrics about taking risks that affect the world. Lyrically and instrumentally, this sounds appropriate for Halloween.)
WFUN 96.3 FM
- Your World-Jonathan McReynolds (Reassuring lyrics about enjoying the wonders of a world none of us created.)
- Feel Alright (Blessed)-Erica Campbell (Feeling thankful for the great day you're having? This is a sound way to proclaim it.)
