The Swing Set with Linda Yohn

Sundays 7pm to 9pm

Join veteran jazz broadcaster Linda Yohn every Sunday night for a program of swinging jazz standards. Swing is an elusive but essential jazz element. It’s hard to define, but you know it when you hear it. Swing can be a sweet singer with a tasty small group, a blistering big band, a sublime piano trio, two tenor saxophones pursuing each other riff after riff, a highly syncopated Latin groove, a classic 1940s chestnut, a lusty, blues-based vocalist rocking a gutsy big band, a crystalline vibraphone-based improvisation or a current elegant swing ensemble with inspirations and variations. The possibilities are endless!

What happened to the playlist of the last hour of songs from the November 12th show? The last song of that show was, I believe, by The West Point Jazz Orchestra-featuring a female singer. I was interested in purchasing that song and that album. Please let me know, what album that was. I’d appreciate it.

Thank you for your understanding regarding my inquiry.

Hi John, yes that was Alexis Cole with West Point Band’s Jazz Knights doing “Pure Imagination” from “Sky Blossom: Songs From My Tour Of Duty” on the Zoho Music label. Thanks for listening.

I would love to have Linda on more than once a week. Great taste and commentary. The Ella special tonight brought back a wonderful memory from @ 50 years ago when I saw Ella live in Copenhagen, and then spent another 2+ hours listening to her group and a a group of Danish jazz artists play and challenge and in general have blast in a local beer basement hall. No one’s voice, clarity, variety and so on better in jazz than Ella.

Wow, you got to see Ella? You’re so lucky! Also, thank you for tuning in to the Swing Set, Linda appreciates it!
