“Sunday Night Swing Set with Linda Yohn” – Sundays 7p to 9p
Veteran jazz broadcaster Linda Yohn has joined WRCJ for weekly program of swinging jazz standards. Swing is an elusive but essential jazz element. It is 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!
Composer, songwriter, singer and actor Hoagy Carmichael was born in Indiana on November 22, 1899. His songs including “Skylark”, Stardust”, “New Orleans” and “Baltimore Oriole” remain relevant and will likely be sung for decades to come. We honored him and composer/arranger Johnny Mandel. The Grammy-winning arranger was born November 23rd, 1925. We had some fun, too with great swinging tunes about food. We wish you a safe, happy and healthy Thanksgiving. WRCJ is thankful for you – the listener who loves good music.
