COVID-19 Community Report - Jan. 5th, 2021 - Shelly Gilbride from International House Davis

Tue, 01/05/2021 - 5:00pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

COVID-19-guest-I-house-010521.jpg

It's a new year, with hope on the horizon in the form of new vaccines, but the reality is we're still in this for a while, and the State's Stay Home Order is still in effect. The list of stats and updates I'll share on today's show is a bit daunting, which is one reason I'm glad I have a great community leader to interview. As Executive Director of International House Davis, longtime Davis resident Shelly Gilbride and her team have been guiding the venerable nonprofit through the challenges and changes of the past year. Before joining I-House, Shelly served for five years as the Programs Officer of the California Arts Council, where she was responsible for grant programs to support arts, culture, and creativity across the state.

In 2020, we lost many wonderful musicians. Some famous, some not quite as famous.

For our final show of 2020 we have selected a few songs of artists who did not meet the very famous category, but whose music contributed oh so much. Enjoy the show and give thanks that these artists stuck with it to enrich our lives.

See the playlist below for a list of artists and songs.

KDRT reboot

On Tuesday, December 22, we rebuilt our computer automation system. And, due to the pandemic, we are currently limiting studio access, which meant we turned off our transmitter while we did the work. If you heard intermittent periods without a broadcast, that was why. Things are back to normal now!

Jazz After Dark Features Count Basie December 15 2020

Tue, 12/15/2020 - 7:43pm | Don Shor

Count_Basie_in_Rhythm_and_Blues_Revue.jpg

"I think the band can really swing when it swings easy, when it can just play along like you are cutting butter." -- Count Basie

Featuring Count Basie tonight on Jazz After Dark! Selections from 1937 to 1987: Count Basie and his Orchestra, with the Kansas City 5, with Zoot Sims, in live and studio sessions, and backing vocalists Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra.

From his early years in Harlem and on the vaudeville circuit, to his years in Kansas City, New York City and the swing era, then his big band, post WWII smaller groups, and reformed orchestra in the 1950’s, Count Basie established a unique swing style that influenced countless musicians. He backed some of the great vocalists of the era and teamed with other jazz royalty, always sounding poised and polished.

Replays Monday 11 pm.

COVID-19 Community Report Dec 15th, 2020 - Jesse Salinas, Yolo ACE

Tue, 12/15/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

COVID-19-guests-Jesse-Salinas-Registrar-Vote2020.jpg

My guest for Dec. 15 is Jesse Salinas, who serves as the Assessor/ Clerk-Recorder/Chief Election Official (ACE) for Yolo County. Jesse's purview and scope of work is broad and far reaching, but it was really the elections work---and the switch to vote by mail--that took center stage during this pandemic year.

I last spoke with Jesse back at the end of September in Episode 37, when he and his staff were ramping up for vote by mail. In this interview, Episode 45 we'll touch base about lessons learned during this time of COVID-19, voter turnout, and what voting in Yolo County could look like moving forward.

Tune in live at noon at 95.7 FM, or listen anytime at kdrt.org.
