What was playing Sunday 1/17 at around 1:50pm? Very expressionist, lots of percussion and brass and tonal clusters.
Hi Dave, that would have been the end of our PipeDreams show so you probably heard some of Craig Phillips Archangel Suite (Michael-Gabriel-Raphael-Uriel). Here is that show and all it’s info if you want to take a look: https://www.pipedreams.org/episode/2021/01/18/still-more-modern-music-makers

Hello Deb, sorry, we didn’t have plans to air that this year, but there were lots of other Christmas specials to enjoy.
12:10AM a song was played Tuesday Dec22nd evening (into Wednesday)….
Missed the name.
Something about Thelonius.
It was a BIG BAND chart for sure.
Thanks,
Alex from Windsor

Hi Alex, that sounds like the song “Thelonious” by The Bill Holman Band from the album “Brilliant Corners: The Music Of Thelonious Monk”.
Friday night 12/11/2020 @ aprox 11:05pm there was a song i missed the name of, had a lady singing with a lovely voice, would you please be able to tell me what that song was?
Hello Jake, the closest song to 11:05pm with a lady singing was “Parisian Heartbreak” by Judy Wexler from “Crowded Heart”.
Amazing! Much thanks!
Hi, Can you please tell me the name of the song you played this evening around 7:30 pm with Phyllis Hyman? It was so beautiful!!!
Hi Andrace, yes that was Phyliss Hyman with pianist McCoy Tyner…. Phyllis Hyman – In Search of My Heart – Remember Me: https://youtu.be/lFz4VdV2FEs
Love Phyllis
