“Sunday Night Swing Set with Linda Yohn” – Sundays 7p to 9p
To listen to an interview with Linda Yohn, conducted by Peter Whorf, click here.
Veteran jazz broadcaster Linda Yohn has joined 90.9 for a 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!
WRCJ “Swing Set” Playlist September 25, 2022
September is Classical Music Month. Classical music is heard every day on 90.9, WRCJ with fabulous, knowledgeable hosts including Dr. Dave Wagner and Peter Whorf. While I’ll never ever know as much as they do, I enjoy classical music along with jazz. Here is my way to honor the great composers and compositions as interpreted by jazz musicians. I hope you enjoyed the alternative approaches to treasured melodies. Thank you for listening and for keeping jazz and classical music alive on 90.9, WRCJ.
