Six recommended tracks heard this morning:
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Sky High-Donald Byrd (A sunny, joyful groove for trumpet, flute, and rhythm section. The vocal punctuation is icing on the cake for this 1973 tune. Also recommended: "Where Are We Going?")
- El Fuego-Althea Rene (Pleasant, upbeat smooth jazz flute and guitar, with a kick.)
- Paris-Janet Evra (The synergy between the vocals and piano is particularly appealing. This relaxed rhythm could segue with multiple versions of "The Girl From Ipanema.")
KCLC 89.1 FM
- We Should Talk-Bleachers (Lyrically, this is a sad reminder that people you once knew well will drop out of your life not out of animosity but because your life trajectories are radically different.)
- Paranoid-Hippo Campus (Are you on the right path? Yes. Or no, maybe. Sometimes, the answer isn't immediately obvious.)
KCFV 89.5 FM
- Promise Me-Badflower (A discomforting warning, even more so than "We Should Talk" by Bleachers, that it's sometimes too late to get back in touch.)
