Six standout selections heard today:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Ken's Burn-Hobex (This energetic instrumental sports cool rhythmic synergy between the organ and the bass.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Dinorah Dinorah-Butcher Brown (Released in March, this is a strong rendition of an Ivan Lins tune. George Benson covered it previously in a slightly faster tempo. Butcher Brown's version retains the essence of the tune's Brazilian flavor while modernizing it.)
- Diamond Dress-Lisa Addeo (Uptempo smooth jazz piano with a dash of funk. The trumpet and backing vocals add spice.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- Running Up That Hill-Meg Myers (The low register of Myers's voice captures the grandeur of Kate Bush's original version.)
- Heartbreak-Tune-Yards (Released in April, the rhythm of the chorus has planted itself firmly in my mind.)
K297BI 107.3 FM, a.k.a. WFUN-HD2
- Franz Schubert: String Quartet No. 15 in G major, D.887: III. Scherzo. Allegro. Vivace-Trio. Allegretto (Emerson String Quartet) (A deftly performed movement. It begins and ends with a rapid call-and-response that transitions into and out of a delicate middle section.)
