Classical Excursions

Classical radio programs often focus on well-known light classics and ignore challenging and imaginative masterworks, especially from the rich repertoire of 20th century music, which is very diverse. This results in listeners who are unaware of many wonderful works. Excursions will present short and longer works by famous as well as less known composers, with insightful commentary by a composer with years of experience in radio, classical marketing, and music education.

Live on the first, third and occasional fifth Friday of the month.

Live Friday 11am-1pm

Replays Sunday 9-11am

DJ(s):

Greg LaTraille

IMPLOSION

IMPLOSION is hosted by Nick Saloman, front person of The Bevis Frond. Born and raised in London, England, Nick started buying records as a small child in the late 1950s and began going to gigs and playing in bands as a teen in the late 60s. IMPLOSION is simply an hour of Nick playing the music that he loves (psychedelia, rock, folk, beat, jazz, soul, punk, and more), with a bit of chat thrown in for good measure. Nick says: "If I like it, then there have got to be a few other people who will too.

Dave_Brubeck_2005_in_Ludwigshafen_1_fcm.jpg

8 pm tonight on Jazz After Dark: Happy birthday to Dave Brubeck!

December 6 2020 was the 100th anniversary of his birth. To celebrate this giant of 20th century jazz, we’ll hear selections from 1954 to 2005.

From the 1950s, a performance from his college tours. Live concerts in Japan and Mexico from the 1960’s. Backing vocalists Carmen McRae (in a classic version of Take Five) and Jimmy Rushing. Gerry Mulligan’s Unfinished Woman, one of the highlights of the band’s reunion concert in 1975, and then a gentle solo from 2005.

Jazz After Dark broadcasts locally at 8 pm Tuesdays on KDRT-LP 95.7 FM in Davis, CA.

Replays Monday 11 pm.

COVID-19 Community Report Dec. 8th, 2020 - Episode 44 with Davis Mayor Gloria Partida

Tue, 12/08/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

COVID-19-Gloria-Partida-120820-eps44.jpg

Dec. 8 marks nearly nine full months since the first shelter-in-place order back in March, and also Episode 44 of the "COVID-19 Community Report" on KDRT. I've interviewed more than 70 people during this time, documenting the effects of the pandemic on communities, institutions, and individuals across Yolo County. Today we'll catch up with Davis Mayor Gloria Partida.

Municipalities have their own particular burdens to bear during this pandemic, from loss of sales tax and other revenue generated at the local level, to loss of income from state and federal governments. And yet, the work of running the City goes on. We'll hear about recent developments in Davis, from Commission appointments to police accountability, and learn more about a forthcoming Community Conversation on Public Safety Recommendations scheduled for Dec. 14.

Live Tuesdays at noon on KDRT 95.7FM and kdrt.org

Davisville, Dec. 7, 2020: Byrds co-founder Chris Hillman has stories to tell in ‘Time Between’

Mon, 12/07/2020 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

Chris Hillman Time Between.png

Chris Hillman co-founded the Byrds, the Flying Burrito Brothers, and the Desert Rose Band. He helped create iconic recordings like “Eight Miles High,” The Gilded Palace of Sin and Sweetheart of the Rodeo, and his latest record, Bidin’ My Time in 2017, was produced by Tom Petty. One of his earliest steady paying gigs, in 1964, was in a concocted band whose ersatz hillbilly songs included a tune about a mule. The music was “horrible,” he says. But great adventures were about to begin. Now 76, Hillman has collected some of his stories and experiences in his new book Time Between, and talks about a few of them today on Davisville.

Live Tracks Archives - December 2018 with Guitarists Kurt Roggli and Martin Lewis Live in studio

Thu, 12/03/2020 - 9:40pm | Jim Buchanan

KDRT-Live-Tracks-Me-and-Him-2016-DMA.jpg

This special holiday edition of Live Tracks was first aired in December 2018 when local guitar duo "Me and Him" (Kurt Roggli and Martin Lewis) appeared live in the studio for the first hour, and then featured guest "co-host" Kurt Roggli for the second hour who spun tunes from his extensive collection of holiday music. This acoustic duo Me and Him are well known in Davis and frequently appear at special holiday concerts and celebrations. It has become a KDRT tradition to invite them to the studio with their "dualing" Martin guitars as part of our annual special holiday programming each December.

KDRT Speaks with Sound Archivist from the Bay-Area's Owsley Stanley Foundation on Silver Nine Volt Heart Dec. 3, 2020

KDRT-SNVH-interview-ali-akbar-khan-album-cover-120320 (2).jpg

Recently, the Owsley Stanley Foundation released the Sixth Chapter of Bear's Sonic Journals : That Which Colors the Mind, a 2 CD-set featuring Ali Akbar Khan (known as the Bach of India). The album features a 2-hour live recording of a performance at the Family Dog at the Great Highway, in San Francisco on May 29, 1970. Recorded live from the soundboard by the legendary Grateful Dead soundman, Owsley Stanley, a.k.a "Bear", this release is thought to be one of the most evocative recordings of Ali Akbar Khan - a recipient of a MacArthur "genius grant", who has been identified as being a key influence on The Beatles, Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones and Santana.

COVID-19 Community Report Episode 43: Speaking with Yolo County Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson - Dec 1st, 2020

Tue, 12/01/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

COVID-19-guest-Aimee-Sisson-PHO.jpeg

As Yolo County saw its adjusted daily case rate for the week ending Nov. 22 jump to 28.2 per 100,000 residents--up from 20.9 just four days prior--many of us are wondering what the numbers might look like 7-10 days after holiday gatherings at Thanksgiving.

It's a good moment to check in with Dr. Aimee Sisson, who joined Yolo County as its chief Public Health Officer in October after resigning from the same position in Placer County when officials there decided to lessen restrictions around COVID-19.

We'll talk about our numbers, what we might expect in the coming weeks and months, and generally check in about the state of public health in Yolo County. We'll also talk about the hard and sometimes demoralizing front-line work that public health officers face as they carry out the state's often unpopular mandates.
