Once again, I didn’t have many ideas walking into this week’s show, however I did know that I wanted to play something from the new Pat Metheny album. That’s something. Ultimately, I’m really happy about songs this week, though. It’s a good mix.

The Line-Up for 14 June 2013

Thundercat – Heartbreaks + Setbacks

It’s hard to believe I’ve been playing tracks from Apocalypse for three weeks and have only now played the first single.

Gold Panda – S950

Pat Metheny – ...

I had not a single thing written in my evernote for this week’s Line-Up. Not one idea of what to play. Sure, I went back to what I had been listening to in the past week, I could comb over the new music shelves, I could think back to random songs that I had heard, but I still had to put together a show that would make good sense to your ears. As usual, I rose to ...

On Wednesday, music lovers from the Triangle have an opportunity to listen to a band whose enthusiasm for brass music, kindness, and dedication for their hometown city continues to change New Orleans for the better.

Over the past decade, Hot 8 has endured more than any humans should. Since the band formed in 1995, they’ve lost four band members. 17-year-old Jacob Johnson was murdered in a home invasion, and Demond Dorsey died from a heart attack at age 28. Months after ...

I was most excited this week to play the new Thundercat album on the show finally, but this week has a lot of other great new music. Man cannot live on bass alone.

The Line-Up for 31 May 2013

Kendrick Scott Oracle – Too Much

I’ve still been playing Conviction a lot lately. With the year now nearly halfway through, it’s hard not to start forming prospective year-end lists. Conviction is little by little coming into view through the fog.

This week’s Line-Up was framed around the upcoming Rempis Percussion Quartet Texas tour dates, however the San Antonio show was unfortunately cancelled. Nevertheless, the Austin and Dallas dates are still a go. This show had some rather adventurous choices but it also seemed rather well received.

The Bad Plus – Wolf Out

I knew if I was going to make some off the wall choices for this week’s show, this song was the best ...

This is another one of those situations where I didn’t have that many ideas when walking into the station but came out with a pretty great show. Really, this past Friday was a particularly great radio day in many different respects. This hour was just a tip of the iceburg.

Marquis Hill – Clearfield’s

Friday was pianist Josh Moshier’s birthday and his work on this song with trumpeter Marquis Hill is my favorite of ...

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.

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.

I’m still hyping the new releases and Dayna Stephens’ That Nepenthetic Place is ...

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 ...

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.

Darryl Reeves – Donut Man

I had the idea of giving Herbie Hancock a bit of a birthday set but through putting his ...
