If you ask anyone in Davis who influences the music scene locally, a good bet would be that the name KEVIN WAN will pop up. Yes, KEVIN will spend an hour with us talking about himself, the music business and how the city of Davis responds to live events. Kevin of course is the driving force behind Sophia's Thai Kitchen so a little food talk might also pop up.
Listening Lyrics is excited about this show especially since the play list will be KEVIN'S selections. Want to know what KEVIN listens to - well then - tune in this Friday
Lots of jazz piano, commemorating the late, great Marian McPartland: Allen Toussaint, Count Basie with Ella; Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson, and Ms. McPartland herself. In between, Billie Holiday with Satchmo, Chet Baker, and Gerry Mulligan, and more.
Great jazz performers doing some of their greatest performances. We’ve got Round Midnight by Monk, Favorite Things by Coltrane. Ella with Cry Me A River, Byrd & Getz with One Note Samba; Ellington & Hodges, Hines & Hodges, Brubeck. Sinatra, and more. Classic jazz tonight.
If you have been around town to some of the open mics for singer/songwriters you have probably seen Dan Dressen. Dan likes to paint a picture with lyrics and his guitar. Dan is a Davis resident and we are thrilled to have him spend an hour with us to chat about his music. he will also be performing some covers of his favorite songs.
An hour of great sax jazz!
1970s jazz tonight!

An interesting group since their music is a mix of the today and of the past going back into the psychedelic 1960's. 4 young men creating a stir in the west coast music scene.
