This week's AotW is The Hi-Nobles album Shake, released on Zaentz Record in 2009. This is the first and only offering from the Nobles, a San Francisco band containing no less than Scotty Holderby of Mordred and Greg Ingraham of The Avengers. Tune in at 5 pm PT on Thursday, September 8, for music Verbicide astutely described as "Sixties-styled, organ-fueled, fuzzed-out garage soul that couldn’t get any more R&B stuffed into it even with a shoehorn."

Gary Chew: Third Streaming (Friday 9/9)

Thu, 09/08/2016 - 8:04am | Eunah

Mozart

Be ready for musical fun when the genius of Mozart is tampered with a bit on Third Streaming with Gary Chew this week on K-dirt. It starts Friday at 3 PM on 95.7, and streaming online at the KDRT website (podcasts too). A lesser known but terrific singer named Meredith D'Ambrosio will sing her very own words set to a memorable melody by Dave Brubeck. Again, Gary shows his bias for Brazilian music and gives you a taste of the music of 20th century American composer William Schuman. Yes, it's more stuff that can only be considered music to your ears. Check the KDRT website for air times and days of the week. You won’t be sorry.

Michael Musial visits KDRT

This week a local treasure visits Listening Lyrics. Michail Musial.

Although a classically trained pianist, and piano technician by trade, Michael's primary musical interest is playing guitar. His style is American Primitive, a genre pioneered by the guitarist John Fahey. He can be heard playing American Primitive covers, original arrangements of cover songs and a few original instrumentals as well. Originally from Pennsylvania, Michael moved to California in 2003 and currently lives in Vacaville, CA. Listen in as we learn about his passion, his music and his life. If your out of the listening area go to www.kdrt.org - the show is streamed live.

Davisville, Sept. 5, 2016: The Byrds and After with Gene Parsons (part 2)

Mon, 09/05/2016 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

wagman odd fellows show.jpg

Today we conclude our interview with Gene Parsons, 72, who was part of The Byrds from 1968 to 1972 and performs with David Hayes in Davis this Saturday, Sept. 10 (here's part 1 of the interview). We hear more about his songs, The Byrds, the note-bending Stringbender device he invented in the 1960s, a steam engine he built in his shop, new music he’s recording with Hayes and the Mendocino Quartet, a long-ago trick in a Yucca Valley bar & grill that tapped his skills with an acetylene torch, and what's coming next. “We have a few other performances that are on the books. We don’t do a lot. We’re kind of basically semi-retired in the music biz,” he says. “We’re kind of just letting it unfold.”

Album of the Week - A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado by Os Mutantes - Sep 1

Thu, 09/01/2016 - 4:53pm | Dug Deep

Mutantes_Divina_Comédia.jpg

Dug Deep hosts this week's edition of Album of the Week, featuring A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado, the third album by Brazilian rock band Os Mutantes. The album was originally released in 1970. The title translates to The Divine Comedy or I Am a Bit Disconnected. "I am a bit disconnected" in this sense means "I feel a little spaced out." The album as a whole is characterized by a mix of psychedelic and religious imagery. Os Mutantes were influenced by a blend of 60s rock -- the Ventures to the Beatles, whose Sgt. Pepper expanded their understaning of what recorded music could achieve. Os Mutantes were subversive, fun, poetic, melodic, playful, noisy, and much more. They also became a part of the Tropicalia movement in Brazil, along with Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, and Tom Ze. Tune in Sep 1 at 5 pm PT for a strange musical journey on Album of the Week.

Gary Chew: Third Streaming (Friday 9/2)

Tue, 08/30/2016 - 3:35pm | Eunah

gary chew

Third Streaming surges to the air this week with a very big band arrangement of Sonny Rollins' tune called Airegin. With a Piaf-like voice, Karrin Allyson sings two songs a la francaise: Bud Powell's Parisian Thoroughfare and Charles Dumont's Des Histories. Jacques Loussier's Trio tips its jazz hat to J.S. Bach. Then bringing it on home, Charlie Haden's Quartet West does Alan Broadbent's The Long Goodbye; the New York Woodwind Quintet performs a familiar Darius Milhaud suite and Gary will also play tracks from the brand new soundtrack for the Michael Fassbender’s latest film, The Light Between Oceans, composed by Alexandre Desplat. The movie opens September 2nd. It's music guaranteed to make your ears sing; both of them ... in harmony.
