Cool jazz tonight...
Featuring Thelonious Monk and Herb Ellis!
This week ( March 22 at 4:00PM) we will have the pleasure of having Tim and Ruby of Ruby and the Emeralds live in the studio.
Their sound is an integration of Ruby's Tex-Mex upbringing and musical heritage and Tim's deep folk, folk-rock and rock & roll influences.
Many of Tim's tunes were composed in Mexico and weave Spanish language elements into verses and choruses, expertly interpreted by Ruby's native tongue. Their songs have a decidedly "Americana" acoustic instrumentation while reaching out towards a "world music" orientation in their use of percussion, horns and cultural touches.
If you are into the live music scene in Davis/Sacramento then this is a must show. Steve Kotarek a local singer/songwriter will be my guest for the full hour.
I heard Steve a week ago and his orginal songs cast a spell.
Yes this is what community radio thrives at - featuring great local talent.
This Friday at 4:00 PM on KDRT FM 95.7 or streamed at KDRT.org
Three jazz greats! Count Basie, Johnny Hodges, and Oscar Peterson
The first 30 minutes of the show we will talk with Julian Lage. Julian is currently performing at the Mondavi Center in Davis, CA.
Following his Grammy-nominated 2009 debutSounding Point, virtuoso guitarist Julian Lage returns with the evocative and finely wrought Gladwell - the second effort by his offbeat, eclectic group with cellist Aristides Rivas, percussionist Tupac Mantilla, bassist Jorge Roeder and saxophonist Dan Blake.
