It's time to no longer think of Mondays as the start of the work week. Monday is Sonic Rehab Day! DJ Jojo Johanssen has some lovely ones for you this week, and he'll be kicking things off with a wild, crazy, groovy, funky banger from Kid Creole & the Coconuts, as well as music from DOMi & JD Beck, Grace Jones, and Madlib's take on a Blue Note classic. He'll also bring in some more lover's rock, as well as a rap track from the early days of the genre.

Sound amazing and possibly too good to be true? Never fear! Jojo always delivers, so be sure to tune in this Monday from 1 to 3 p.m. on 95.7 fm or KDRT.org. Don't forget that if you can't listen live, you can still catch past shows up to 2 weeks after broadcast on KDRT.org! Don't miss it!

Swedish jazz & blues on Listening Lyrics, April 24, 2026

Fri, 04/24/2026 - 4:00pm | Pieter Pastoor

ChatGPT Image Apr 26, 2026 at 01_38_01 PM.png

Tonight on Listening Lyrics, we head to Sweden – a land better known for forests, Volvos, ABBA, winter nights, and great design, but also home to a remarkable jazz and blues tradition. Swedish jazz often blends cool elegance, folk melodies, and deep atmosphere, while Swedish blues brings heartfelt grit with a Scandinavian twist.

From smoky clubs in Stockholm to late-night festivals across the country, Sweden has long proven that soul and swing need no passport. So settle in – this is Swedish jazz and blues.
