I’ll be playing lots of soulful, jazzy, bluesy stuff – along with whatever else I think will get you (and me!) up and moving on a Monday morning.
What you’ll hear in the Audio Archive links below:
January 13 – Trios are the focus of this morning’s show. First up, the Oscar Peterson Trio, which has introduced Fascinating Rhythms for the last 5 years. You’ll also hear the Nat King Cole Trio, Sarah Vaughan & Her Trio, and Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross.
Note: tinyurl.com/oscar-peterson-dick-cavett is the link to the Oscar Peterson/Dick Cavett interview I mentioned on the air.
January 6 – This morning I’m playing jazz artists introduced to me by listeners (Hugh Laurie, Jon Batiste, and Mariza), along with a newly discovered album by Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass.
December 30 – On today’s Fascinating Rhythms, you’ll hear Portugal’s most famous fado singer Amalia Rodrigues, and several of her American contemporaries: Alberta Hunter, Bessie Smith, W.C. Handy, and Blind Lemon Jefferson.
December 23 – Holiday jazz and blues favorites, including Eartha Kitt, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Stevie Wonder, and more. Plus Louis Armstrong reading “The Night Before Christmas.”
December 16 – Today’s show features artists requested by Fascinating Rhythms listeners. You’ll hear favorite tracks from Keely Smith, Mildred Bailey, Germaine Bazzle, and Judy Wexler. Thanks for these suggestions, and please email new requests to me any time: KathyGRhythms@gmail.com.
