[billyskank]

[Kire]

Jean Shepherd's voice slays me every time.

"He really knew, now. He really knew."

[progmom]

[SnohoDem]

7. Play something great by Carmen McRae

Her name was familiar, now I know what she looks like, but I don't know her voice.

[Orsino]

8. "Paint Your Pretty Picture"

...from the Blue Note Live album.

[Orsino]

59. Not gonna happen, is it?

:-(

[progmom]

61. i'm sorry, sweetie

i have to dig out my vinyl at home - i can't find it here. :cry:

[Orsino]

That'd be cool.

I like her "old" voice on that track--rougher and sexier than in the lovely song you played earlier.

[progmom]

81. i loved her "old" voice too

i first saw her live in 1988, and fell in love immediately with that sound. it took awhile to get used to her younger voice when i went back and listened to her old Decca and Kapp recordings. now i just love them all. i have well over 100 Carmen McRae records and CDs.

[progmom]

10. you don't have to twist my arm on that one

;)

[stellanoir]

11. sometime consider checking out Boston's best jazz show's

playlists

http://www.wgbh.org/schedules/episode-list?program_id=30367&view_previous=1

"Eric in the Evening" starts every show with a really lovely song called "Peace" by Tommy Flanagan off "Something Borrowed, Something Blue." I used to dance to it every evening but probably is not really as appropriate for Saturday early afternoon.

Have a great show !!!

[progmom]

39. thanks, stella

if the station has it, i'll throw it on!

:loveya:

[immoderate]

12. I'm cooking!

I mean I'm really cooking.

I mean I'm really cooking a stew. What else do you do with left over wine? Get some meat and veggies and put it in a pot...

--IMM

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. I wanna hear the Sarah Vaughn Fever remix

On the Verve remix set :D (pretty please)

[billyskank]

16. Ooh with Kenny Burrell's guitar accompaniment

good choice!

[billyskank]

24. Ooh wait, I was thinking of Love For Sale

Hey Progmom! How about Aretha Franklin's version of Love For Sale?

[progmom]

19. I can do that!

For you? Anytime. :hi:

[progmom]

30. done!

:hi:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

31. You rule!

[swag]

17. Bill Doggett

Either "Honky Tonkin' Part 1" or the vocal version of "Honky Tonkin'."

Failing that, some Jimmy Smith.

Failing that, I'll just enjoy the show.

Thanks.

[progmom]

53. hey swag!

dunno what we have in the way of bill doggett up here. i know i have some at home. i will try to please you somehow, ok? ;)

[swag]

95. Belated thanks, prog.

You always please without even trying.

[MrScorpio]

18. Cool!

Charles Earland's LEAVING THIS PLANET.

If not, then Flora Purim's LIGHT AS A FEATHER

[progmom]

54. i will look and see what we have up here, mr scorpio!

:hi:

[immoderate]

20. Hi progmom! Got any good violin?

Stephan and Johnny Frigo are my favorites, but if you can think of sumpin'? :shrug: <--Love this guy!

(Not Perlman vanity recording.)


Thanks.


--IMM

[progmom]

[immoderate]

Thank you very much!! Hey! It's La Bamba (the changes)!!

Cool!

--IMM

[MuseRider]

21. Jane Bunett?

Do you have anything by her? I don't know her but I am going to hear her in a couple of hours at the festival here. She will be at my house tonight I think.

[progmom]

40. i love Jane Bunnett

love her love her love her

enjoy. she is an amazing talent. seriously.

[MuseRider]

97. I just met her

and Elio. My sons are sitting in with them tonight. She is a very nice woman. I am excited to hear her in a few hours. I do hope they will come over afterwards for a jam at my house with all the folks who are here, I have promised her a horseback ride the next time they come. I'll let you know later, I am so excited to hear them.

[MuseRider]

35. Progmom

You have a beautiful voice. I have not listened for a while and I had forgotten. You do great weather!

Gonna be out in a while so have a great show.

[progmom]

37. thank you!

:blush:

[billyskank]

42. Profile of Jimmy Smith! Woohoo!

:woohoo:

[immoderate]

45. I've not seen the Jimmy Smith version of "Peter and the Wolf"

on CD. Progmom, you must know the people at Verve well enough to get influence some reissues. There are also some Verve Lalo Schiffrin albums that never made it to CD. You know what I mean?

The Duck on Peter and the Wolf was the loudest, funkiest, big band vs. Hammond vs. rhythm section I ever heard.

BTW, I saw Oscar Brown on Broadway, with wife Jean Pace and Sivuca. It was a great show but I forget the name.

--IMM

[progmom]

52. you saw him? i am so jealous.

Was the show "Mr. Kicks"?

[immoderate]

55. Mr Kicks doesn't ring a bell.

Early seventies, there was an album. I'll try to google it.

--IMM

[immoderate]

56. It was called "Joy"

--IMM

[progmom]

65. oh shit!! i must get that!!!!!

thanks! :hi:

[immoderate]

69. Do you know Sivuca? He's from Brazil.

--IMM

[progmom]

86. i do - and i have some Sivuca at home somwhere.

i absolutely must find that record!!!

[Ann Arbor Dem]

98. We should talk about Sivuca....

I have a few Sivuca CD's you need to hear. One was a show that he and Rosinha de Valença did in Rio in '77. It's so beautiful, it almost makes me cry when I listen to it.

Another is "The Essential Airto" (1970) with Airto, Flora, Hermeto, Sivuca, Dom Um Romão, and Ron Carter. A shimmering gem.

[progmom]

99. hey!

do you have some kind of filter that brings up all the posts regarding Brazilian music? very impressive!!!

[Ann Arbor Dem]

100. Something like that....

;)

Are you and the rest of the progfamily going to taste of a2 this afternoon?

[progmom]

101. is that today?

i totally forgot. x(

[Ann Arbor Dem]

103. I was going to go, but now i'm not sure if i am...

too much to do at home x(

[immoderate]

57. Jimmy Smith version of "Satin Doll" is, well, Incredible!

--IMM

[MrScorpio]

44. Jannine

You know it should have been the late great Eddie Jefferson.

You naughty, minx

[progmom]

48. I love Eddie Jefferson

I really do.

But Oscar Brown Jr wrote the lyrics. So we have to pay him his due. Especially the week of his death. Do you know him at all? I love him.

[MrScorpio]

60. Of course, I've heard of Oscar

But I fell in love with Eddie's cover.

When he was shot to death in Detroit, a piece of me died that day.

[progmom]

64. outside Bakers

yeah - that was terrible. it was the husband of a woman he was seeing, from what i have heard tell. :(

[MrScorpio]

73. That's what I heard too

When it happened I couldn't believe it.

It just bought my Main Man album, he had lot's of play on WJZZ.

I even thought about going to see him, but I had no money in those days.

A great loss

[MrScorpio]

75. I've got one Antibalas cut

Hypocrite.

These guys can jam!

[progmom]

87. kind of reminds me a little of Fela

so much energy and intensity!

[MrScorpio]

92. That's why I love them too

Being the lover of Afro-Pop that I am, I know a good thing when I hear it.

[In_The_Wind]

46. ... When I fall in love ..... awesome!

:hi:

[progmom]

49. wasn't it?

:loveya:

i love the way carmen hits those consonants. the words really mean something when she sings them.

[In_The_Wind]

50. yes and I'm happy to be sitting here with my feet up listening to you

thanks to another DUer .... I was out very early to buy one tomato plant :think: now it's nice to be back home for your show before running out again

[southlandshari]

47. "Since I Met You Baby"

Any cover of the old Ivory Joe Hunter song will do, though I'm partial to the Willy DeVille version.

This request may fall too far on the blues side of great music to fit your jazz format. Let me know if this is the case, and I'll try again later, or next week!

:hi:

[progmom]

63. with all the oscar brown jr i am playing today...

...to honor his passing, i kind of ran out of time...

:(

[southlandshari]

67. Thanks for the reply!

And whenever you have a minute, let me know if my request actually fits your format. I listen to more blues than straight jazz, but there is so much overlap I thought this one might fit. I just want to be prepared for next Saturday's show with a request that makes sense!

Good show today.

[progmom]

70. certainly - there are jazz versions - nat cole did it, even

:hi:

[southlandshari]

72. Ok - consider this a heads up for next week!

I'm requesting whichever cover of "Since I Met You Baby" you like best. In honor of all my DU friends!

:toast:

[bettyellen]

58. i played a little sample for you.......

they cleaned out my cd player and i'm taking the thang down to see Andy- all on the dime of the US Army!
LOL

[progmom]

62. that's what that was!

i was going to call you back! couldn't hear what you were saying...just that you sounded happy. :D

[bettyellen]

66. aaaaaaah the good life

full of fun
seems to be
the i deeeeeeaaaaaaal.

she got that right!
gonna go play in the sunshine, babe.
later.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

74. I love Ray Charles version

[bettyellen]

78. they are both amazing

but when betty would play that live, she'd let her band go off and get down for real.
she was an amazing band leader. over the years she found and schooled some amazing young musicians.
what a legacy she left behind.

[progmom]

68. this is Antibalas

how much does it rock???

[billyskank]

71. Thankyou progmom!

You're playing Jimmy Smith!! I know this one is from Home Cookin' but I can't remember which one it is...

[progmom]

83. you're welcome! good ear!

It was Since I Fell For You. Kenny Burrell on guitar.

[bettyellen]

76. aaaah, our theme song, the simple life....

i'm glad i stuck around for that!

[progmom]

80. me too

it was played with you in mind. ;)

[bettyellen]

84. it's our song....

[progmom]

91. yup

:D

[immoderate]

77. Great stuff! Thank you Progmom!

:loveya:

--IMM

[progmom]

89. thank you! i really enjoy doing my show with you!

:)

[Jack Rabbit]

79. Bessie Smith: Pig Foot and a Bottle of Beer

If that doesn't pass the station's censors, I'll settle for Ms. Smith's rendition of The St. Louis Blues, which also features Louis Armstrong on trumpet.

[progmom]

88. Jack Rabbit - as much as I would love to help out my bunny friend

my show is over. :(

[Jack Rabbit]

90. I just realized that

My bad.

[auntAgonist]

82. good show Progmom!!

thanks again . I had opportunity to listen ALL the way through today.


Have a safe ride home!


k.

[progmom]

85. thanks for the great request!

it had been too long since i had listened to Madeleine! :hi:

[valis]

93. Darn, I missed it.

[progmom]

94. it's ok - you don't like jazz

and i played a lot of that guy you never cared for. :hi:

[Huckebein the Raven]

96. Tuned in to your show

Great show. I lovvvvvvvvveeeee jazz.

:)

[RetroLounge]
