3rd Streaming Celebrates the Birthday of French Composer Claude DeBussy and His Impact on Classical Music and Jazz - Aug 18th, 2020

Tue, 08/18/2020 - 3:10pm | Gary Chew

KDRT-fb-3rd-Cluade-081820.jpg

Mid August always brings the date when Claude Debussy was born. As we're at 2020, that happened 158 years ago. Great Impressionistic music by this Frenchman has made a non-stop impact on classical music and jazz. Debussy's harmonies are heard often in those genres and sometimes in film scores as well.

Other composers on the list this week are Andre Previn, Eddie Sauter, Lowell Libermann, Dmitri Shostakovich, John Coltrane, Lennon and McCartney, and from two local musicians, Melissa Collard and Jacám Manricks. 3rd Streaming airs Tuesdays 1-3 PM and Thursdays 9:30-11:30 PM. Stream at kdrt.org

COVID-19 Community Report Episode 32: Da Vinci Junior High Teacher Leonie Pickett Speaks about Zoom Classrooms - Aug 18th, 2020

Tue, 08/18/2020 - 12:40pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

COVID-19-guest-Da-Vinci-Jr-High-teacher.jpg

This week we speak with Leonie Pickett, who teaches History, English, Geography and Leadership to 7th, 8th and 9th graders at Da Vinci Junior High in Davis. A parent of teens as well, she walks us through what the start of this most unusual school year looks like for her. We hear about how teachers spent their summers preparing for teaching on Zoom again, how to best engage students, concerns about social development, and other pros and cons with this current mode of reaching students and parents.

Last week, I did an informal poll on Facebook, asking listeners who they'd like me to interview. I received an incredible number of responses, and one thing that emerged was the desire to hear more from everyday people: teachers, kids, parents, business owners. I will continue interviewing leaders from our local institiutions and organizations, because I believe that's still important, but I've committed to bringing forth some of these other voices, as well.

Davisville, Aug. 17, 2020: The Palms, on indefinite hiatus, is ending its lease in Winters

Mon, 08/17/2020 - 6:10pm | Bill Buchanan

IMG_3678.jpg

The Palms Playhouse, with no clear end to the pandemic in sight, has gone on indefinite hiatus and isn’t renewing its lease for the location in downtown Winters it has called home since moving from Davis in 2002. However, co-owners Nora Cary and Andrew Fridae are keeping the Palms going as an organization. On today’s Davisville we talk with Cary about the pandemic, the last concert they held on March 7, running a for-profit business with no profit, the magic of a good performance, some favorite moments since she and Fridae bought the Palms in 2016, and what might come next. (Photo shows Peter Case onstage at the Palms in July 2019)

Americana in The UK: Jason McNiff leads the Way, Friday, August 14, 2020

Wed, 08/12/2020 - 2:48pm | Pieter Pastoor

JasonMcNiff_1-WEB.jpeg

"Americana" is alive and well thanks to Jason McNiff, who hails from the coast of Southern England. Jason also introduced us to Sarah Gillispie, and we ended the interview playing one of her songs.

British troubadour Jason McNiff has made five albums which people call folk, or Americana, or alt country. There is an Englishness in his guitar playing, however, and you might think of Bert Jansch or Wizz Jones meeting John Prine & Townes Van Zandt. “McNiff’s quiet, intimate, fragile-sounding vocals draw you into his world," wrote Time Out in London, "an almost timeless place through which he drifts, a romantic loner, a dreamer, at home with the blues.” He is often touted as one of the UK’s most overlooked musical treasures, as a songwriter and fingerpicker.

His album April Cruel (Fledg’ling) was nominated for best album in the alt country category at the Independent Music Awards in 2011. A double CD anthology, Rain Dries Your Eyes, was issued in 2017. A new record made during lockdown will be coming soon.
