Today's standouts:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- No News Is Good News-Pops Staples (The rhythm and attitude of this tune remind me of Johnny Guitar Watson's "A Real Mother For Ya," which I first heard on KDHX years ago and would recommend as a segue.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Re-Entry-Kait Dunton (Dunton's strong, rhythmic piano playing propels this uptempo melody, along with prominent bass and drums.)
- Feel The Heat-Nathan Mitchell (Strong piano underpinning and horns carry this upbeat smooth jazz melody, released in June.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- Miles And Miles-The Heavy Heavy (An appealing driving energy. Also recommended: "Happiness.")
K297BI 107.3 FM, a.k.a. WFUN-HD2
- Franz Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in D minor (Philippe Entremont, piano) (I admire how this piece pulls off the unusual hat trick of sounding grim, tender, and whimsical over 9 1/2 minutes.)
