Teasing the Korean Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 (edited) 1 hour ago, felser said: Is her show available online? Each show is archived for one magical week, before disappearing forever into the ether, unless an alien civilization picks up the broadcasts in thousands of years. (Radio waves theoretically travel indefinitely.) The show is called Surface Noise on www.wmnf.org, and she just won programmer of the year. Surface Noise primarily focuses on late-70s/early-80s punk and new wave, along with genres that led to this, such as 60s garage and glam, and stuff inspired by this. It also includes a segments titled "Your Weekly Todd" and "The Bowie Votive." Finally there is "The Cocktail Mix" in the last 15 minutes of the show, during which she may spin anything including jazz, standards, Latin, Brazilian, exotica, space age, spy, crime, French Pop, Moog, sitar, outer space. She sometimes does birthday tributes in these segments, hence my question for @GA Russell. But this week's cocktail mix will continue Earth Day recognition with a Brazilian aquatic theme, with Brazilian songs about frogs, ducks, fishermen, little boats, surfboards, and March waters. https://www.wmnf.org/events/surface-noise/ You can listen live on Saturdays 4pm - 6pm EST.

Gheorghe Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 I seldom know birth dates, but the Sun Ra birthday is interesting. It was in Alabama. It must have been great influences of early jazz that made him become such a great artist, one of my favourites in my early beginnings of loving jazz. I even might say that I "learned" about traditional jazz thru Sun Ra when they sometimes at the end of a set would play just for fun some late 20´s, 30´s stuff and it really sounded great....., he was an important figure for me, as was Mingus, both having come up in the old jazz tradition and become leading figures to talk jazz beyond the boundaries, exploring new areas. That meant jazz for me in my very beginnings with that music..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a big fan early on, when their US albums were on Atlantic. I lost interest when they became involved with Bowie. In '70 they were the warm-up act for Jethro Tull. Tull was boring in comparison, and half the crowd left before the end of Tull's set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Dee Dee Bridgewater is still in good shape, vocally and otherwise. Saw here at the Detroit Jazz Festival last year and came away impressed, vocally and otherwise. Happy Birthday indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in my rock days, I always loved the first two Columbia albums, All the Young Dudes and Mott, but I did have at least two of their Atlantic LPs. On her annual Christmas show, Ms. TTK always plays "Death May Be Your Santa Claus." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
