“Fresh from the Festival, Part 1.”  Nancy is just back from the International Western Music Association’s festival in Albuquerque. She’ll play selections from the music and poetry she heard over 5 days. Today’s episode includes highlights from the Western Music Awards show, which is like the Grammys but for western artists. In the upcoming weeks, you can hear Parts 2 & 3 of “Fresh From the Festival” which will have music/poetry from many more artists who performed at the event. 

In this third 2018 program about jazz, Don Shor (host of "Jazz After Dark" on Tuesdays at 8:00 pm) shares more history. In part 2, we heard -- and heard about -- the three most popular and well-known jazz singers.  This time, we hear many of the less well-known women jazz vocalists singing over the decades.  While Don says he is "not an expert", he has a lot to teach us about this quintessential American art form.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
