Sunday and Monday standouts:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Homesick's Shuffle-Homesick James (An upbeat blues instrumental with compelling interplay between the guitar and piano. This sounds like a Fats Domino backing track to me.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Every Day I Have The Blues-Jimmy McGriff (A slick Hammond B3 organ-anchored tune. I wouldn't mind playing a walking bass line under it.)
KWMU 90.7 FM
- Oliloqui Valley-Hailey Niswanger (Niswanger's saxophone tone reminds me of John Coltrane and Antonio Hart. This expansive tune gives the listener ample time to sample said tone and appreciate how vital the piano is to the rhythm.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
- Don't Look Back-Charlie (Sobering lyrics about the danger of putting the past on a pedestal, sung in appealing Crosby, Stills & Nash-style harmony. Also recommended: "Turning To You.")
K297BI 107.3 FM, a.k.a. WFUN-HD2
- J.S. Bach: Passacaglia & Fugue in C minor, BWV 582 (Chicago Symphony Orchestra Brass) (Regal--and grim--interweaving themes.)
