This week’s show has a bit of a reaching for the back benches kind of vibe. I get a lot of mail from a lot of musicians– some I listen to, some I just don’t have the time for, and sometimes I hear something but don’t fit it into the show for quite some time… until a show like this.

The Line-Up for 10 May 2013

J. Wesley Haynes Trio – Kid A

The concept of versioning all of Kid A is rife with the kind of ambition one could only expect from an Austin band.

Captain Murphy – Between Friends

Phronesis – Charm Defensive

Happy birthday, Jasper Høiby of Phronesis!

Luke Celenza – River Rhodes

I’ve had pianist Luke Celenza’s album, Back and Forth, for I don’t know how long now. I’ve kept it in rotation for a little while but didn’t feel strongly compelled to play it on air of give it a quick write up until now. Every now and then, though, I’ll run across it and really enjoy it. It may be a sleeper album for me. Perhaps it should be for you, too.

Butcher Brown – Cali Riding

Gilad Hekselman – Above

I may love this track from This Just In the most.

Louis Fouché – Silver Lining

I’ve also had saxophonist Fouché’s EP, Subjective Mind, for a while, too. I did hip y’all to that one some time back, though. Now it finally makes its Line-Up debut.

Teebs – Bleep

Will Martina – Little Meow

When’s the last time I played cellist Will Martina? Finding room to play a cellist on this show can be a bit tough.

Ben Wendel & Dan Tepfer – Line-Up

I had a little window of time in the show that needed filling. Fortunately, I hadn’t played this song in a little while.

Joshua Redman – Stop This Train

Have we added John Mayer’s “Stop This Train” to the Great American Songbook yet? This certainly isn’t the only cover I’ve heard of it and the song isn’t even that old.

Mo Kolours – Tusk Dance

Iron and Wine – Low Light Buddy of Mine

My ongoing quest to hype the very jazzy Ghost on Ghost continues.

Butcher Brown – 1975

My ongoing adoration of Butcher Brown also continues. Besides, I had a little time left.

It’s muggy in San Antonio. I’ve got a cold and I don’t feel like my head is in the game. I’m falling behind on all kinds of stuff. We’re going a little lower energy this week. Nevertheless, when do I take this show low energy? That’s got to be an interesting change up in itself.

The Line-Up for 26 April 2013

Dayna Stephens – Dah Dot Dah

I’m still hyping the new releases and Dayna Stephens’ That Nepenthetic Place is certainly worthy of such hype.

Rel – Heart Beat On It

Darcy James Argue‘s Secret Society – Missing Parts

Today’s the last day Brooklyn Babylon is streaming at NPR, but now you have the chance to buy the album to enjoy for yourself.

Christian McBride & Inside Straight – Gang Gang

I’ve been waiting for this album for a little while now ever since I saw McBride come to town a couple months ago. It was a great evening wherein he and Inside Straight laid out some new material. Now we finally have this material for posterity’s sake.

Radiohead – Climbing Up the Walls (Zero 7 Remix)

Gilad Hekselman – Nothing Personal

New and mellow is the theme for the week and this Hekselman track fit the bill.

Uri Gurvich – Camelao

This Uri Gurvich track isn’t as mellow but it’s certainly new. BabEl is out now!

Pazes – Etacarinae

Eldar Djangirov – Morning Bell

About a week or so ago, I heard this song playing on the air at just the right time to spur me into copping the album. I’m a sucker for a Radiohead cover.

(U)nity – Creepin’

It’s a bit of a jolt to get used to this song with such an irregular beat but it pays off.

Butcher Brown – The River

I’m not often one to play softer tracks on the show but this song demanded it. I knew I’d find the right show for it at some point. Butcher Brown is great for all occasions.

Nujabes – The Space Between Two Worlds

Eddie Moore and the Outer Circle – Houston Vision

I’ve been enjoying The Freedom of Expression but haven’t played enough of it on the air. Also, Moore started following me on Twitter which brought his work back to mind. Also, I needed a mellow closer.

Beastie Boys – To All The Girls

I was under time this week and this felt like the perfect filler.

I would have attempted a 4/20 playlist for tomorrow but day-specific playlists are hard. Also, I felt this to be a particularly strong week of music releases posted on Nextbop and wanted to compile them into an hour. Seriously, it’s been a good week musically.

The Line-Up for 19 April 2013

Brad Mehldau Trio – Everything In Its Right Place

This was the last possible plug for the Mehldau/Thile show on (what is now, last) Saturday so I gave the 1 spot to my favorite Mehldau Radiohead cover ever. It’s perfect in every way.

Skalpel – Long Distance Call

Gerald Clayton – Shadamanthem

Life Forum is a go-to album in every way and will be for a while.

Portico Quartet – Ruins (Live)

Live/Remix is, too.

Demian – Out of Green Ink; Dyo

Some time last week, I saw Hiatus Kaiyote tweet that they were going to be on an Australian radio show playing songs they liked. I figured I’d check it out and that pointed me to HK’s compatriots at Wondercore Island. Their mixtape is really worth checking out.

Bonobo – Jets

Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society – Prologue

Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society – The Neighborhood

As good as Brooklyn Babylon is, it’s best as a cohesive whole. I felt giving you the first two tracks together can show where this album I going. However, if you want to hear the whole thing, NPR’s First Listen has you covered until the albums April 30th release date.

Teebs – Your Favorite Weekday

Darryl Reeves – Butterfly

I’ve been playing The Herbie Sessions a lot this last week. It’s too fun a listen.

(U)nity – D’Axels Dream

I’ve been paying attention to (U)nity for a while now and have waited for their debut EP for a good little minute. Now that it’s out, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t have it.

UFSP – Chill Mode

Iron and Wine – Lover’s Revolution
I’ve always loved Iron and Wine, every nook and cranny of Sam Beam’s career arc, so I loved the move forward made with Ghost on Ghost. I was playing the album constantly for a week before I looked at the album credits to discover Beam corralled drummer Brian Blade on the album. I was downright astounded. I didn’t think I could have even more respect for this act.

We’ve reached the end of a long, tiring, but successful membership drive at Jazz 91.7 FM and we have you to thank, unless you didn’t pledge. Then you get half thanks for listening and maybe telling your friends, but becoming a member is good, too. Do that by heading to http://join.krtu.org.

The Line-Up for 12 April 2013

Darryl Reeves – Donut Man

I had the idea of giving Herbie Hancock a bit of a birthday set but through putting his influence in focus a bit. Nothingtoo flashy but nothing too direct.

Teebs – _for Phil

David Weiss & Point of Departure – I Have a Dream

Venture Inward is hands down the best, most interesting PosiTone label release I’ve ever heard.

Herbie Hancock – Edith and the Kingpin feat. Tina Turner

I heard this song on the radio earlier in the weeek and fel or it all over again. It’s just too cool and practically perfect in every way. T taught me to fall for guitarist Lionel Loueke before I even knew who he was.

Rel – Welcome

Johnathan Blake – The Eleventh Hour

Blake was drumming for pianist & NEA Jazz Master Kenny Barrn in San Antonio on Friday night. I’m disappointed I didn’t have the chance to see him.

Brad Mehldau & Kevin Hays – Generatrix

However I will get to see the upcoming Brad Mehldau/Chris Thile show at Austin’s Paramount Theater this Friday, April 20th. 16-year-old me who fell for Mehldau (and modern mainstream, non-smooth jazz at tis point) a decade ago is freaking out. 20-year-old me who fell for the Punch Brothers is really glad to see Thile again after last year’s SouthBy.

Space Ghost – 3 Weeks

Gilad Hekselman – March of the Sad

Have you copped This Just In yet? It’s out now, you know.

Butcher Brown – We Walk Tall

I’m just wearing out Butcher Brown, at least as much as one can wear out freely downloaded mp3s.

Butcher Brown – Cali Riding

Toro Y Moi – Sweet

Dayna Stephens – Common Occurrences

Doesn’t it seem like a Dayna Stephens solo album has been a bit overdue. Finally, his time has come.

anthony.deanharris@nextbop.com / @i_ADH

My mind is mostly on getting the Jazz for the Masses Party on March 13th together. How this show came to be and as good as it is is beyond me. There’s just a lot of talented musicians out there.

The Line-Up for 22 February 2013

Ian Carey Quintet +1 – Count Up
I had gotten Roads & Cones a few weeks ago but in my inbox it sat. Now upon its release, I figured it was time to let it out and give it a chance.
Flying Lotus All the Secrets feat. Austin Peralta
Nadje Noordhuis – Le Fin
Noordhuis’ album is another release I’ve been sleeping on that I need to give its due attention.
Bob Reynolds – Can’t Wait for Perfect
This was the only track the computer place in the hour that I decded to keep. Reynolds recently released some more live recrdings that are also worth checking out.
Mostly Other People Do the Killing – Yo, Yeo, Yough
Oddly enough, this is the second track from MOPDtK’s Slippery Rock that I’ve played on the show even though it’s their first “single”.
MF DOOM – Licorice
Poyser, Riggins, Jackson – Funky Butt
Daniel Ori – Back It Up
As I was putting this show together, I had a two and a half minute hole that needed filling. I ran across bassist Daniel Ori and now I must know more about this dude.
NEXT Collective – Fly or Die
Cover Art finally graces the world this week. Are you ready for it?
Beastie Boys – Multilateral Nuclear Disarmament
Darryl Reeves – Star of Detroit
I’ve been playing Darryl Reeves like crazy lately. Listen to this and you can see why.
Chris Dave – Afrika… I Freak Her
If you haven’t copped the Chris Dave and the Drumhedz Mixtape, stop being a fool.
Teebs – _for phil
Mark de Clive-Lowe & the Rotterdam Jazz Orchestra – Take the Space Trane
This is a great track, isn’t it? You should get Take the Space Trane. In fact, this is the only track from the album that I have. Why don’t I have this album?

anthony.deanharris@nextbop.com / @i_ADH

This was a painstaking process, cobbling together newness and stuff that may have been passed over in other arenas but fit quite well here. This week’s show is also a bit heavier in the vocals, though I’m not sure why.

The Line-Up for 18 January 2013

Wayne Shorter Quartet – S.S. Golden Mean
I’ve been kind of obsessed with the new Wayne Shorter album, Without a Net, since I’ve had it. He’s still a legend and he still comes with fire.
Mister Barrington – Helter’s Kelter
Ben Goldberg – The Because Of
I had been playing tracks from Unfold Ordinary Mind so oten that it seemed onl fair to also feature something from Subatomic Particle Homesick Blues.
Marquis Hill – Clearfield’s
This track is all about Josh Moshier’s piano work. Too cool.
Christian McBride & Inside Straight – Brother Mister
Christian McBride is playing The Carver in February. This almost snuck up on me.
Nujabes – The Space Between Two Worlds
Christian Scott – Bartlett
I felt a bit down this week and this somber track was a go to for me. It’s also one of my favorite songs on Christian aTunde Adjuah
Donny McCaslin – Losing Track of Daylight
I wanted an excuse to make wubwubwub sounds on the radio.
Flying Lotus – Breathe . Something/Stellar STar
Michael Kiwanuka – Tell Me a Tale
Michael Kiwanuka is a man outside of time.
José James – Vanguard
I’m not sure who will say it, but “Vanguard” is possibly the coolest track on James’ new album (which drops tomorrow).
#ProducedByTheVamp – Let Me feat. DrewVision & (U)nity
I’ve had my eyes out for (U)nity for a minute now just waiting for them to release some material. This isn’t theirs specifically but it’ll do for now.
Rel – Heart Beat On It
Chris Dave – Cosmic Slop
Chris “Daddy” Dave put out a free mixtape, so if you’re reading this, you may be required by law to cop it. I’m not sure, though; I’m not a lawyer or anything.

This show is an interesting little hodgepodge of new and old. I rather like it.

The Line-Up for 25 January 2013

Gretchen Parlato – E.S.P.
I’ve had this song sitting on a list of prospective songs for the show for months now but I only recently made the effort to fit it in. It’ll come to mind from time to time, singing Parlato’s arrangement absentmindedly while walking.
Hiatus Kaiyote – Nakamarra (Bendaur’s Double Rainbow Mix)
Menahan Street Band – Lights Out
The computer actually picked this one, all it needed was its proper home in the hour.
Eric Harland – Voyager
The computer picked this one, too, and I so love Harland’s Voyager: Live By Night. I may play this album for myself just for bringing it up. You should, too. You owe it to yourself.
Radiohead – Meeting in the Aisle
Kurt Rosenwinkel – Homage A’Mitch
Since my column last week used a Facebook discourse with Aaron Parks as the opening premise, I felt it necessary to feature him, so I pulled up the new Rosenwinkel album once again.
Brad Mehldau Trio – 26
Ode has been growing on me more and more.
Karriem Riggins – daooooh!!
ELEW – Thanksgiving
Last week, ELEW took to Twitter at length haranguing about his lack of jazz radio play, so I gave him some radio play.
Yaron Herman Quartet – Homemade
A nice thing about regularly commuting again is playing music on the show from the commute again.
Chris Dave – Fly Girl
You copped Chris Dave’s new mixtape already, right?
Space Ghost – Starship 2091
Doctor Magnum – ALL CAPS/NY State of Mind
These guys out of Albany, NY, emailed me a couple times so I finally checked them out (I get a lot of email). You should, too.
