Six of the better tunes I've heard today:
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Storm-Stanley Turrentine (I'm glad there's a place on the radio for this sprawling sax-centered tune that represents the best of 1971.)
KWMU 90.7 FM
- Peace Piece-Bill Evans (A warm piano piece I can imagine someone playing after everyone in the concert hall has gone home. This is what playing for the love of it sounds like.)
- Walkin' And Swingin'-Marian McPartland (A strong version of a perfectly titled Mary Lou Williams piano instrumental.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
- See Me See You-Barclay James Harvest (I'm primed to like this combination of forthright guitar and vocal harmonies that aren't far removed from Crosby, Stills & Nash.)
- Everyday-James Taylor (I was surprised to hear KSHE mellow out by playing this softer, slower version of the Buddy Holly tune.)
KEZK 102.5 FM
- What Child Is This?-Jim Brickman (If you've heard other Brickman-played carols but not this one, you can probably approximate how he approaches this on the piano. This rendition conveys an appropriate amount of reverence and solemnity.)
