Our 46th Show Featuring Songs for Olympics

August 18th, 2008 · No Comments

Our 46th streaming show on Live365 features songs celebrating this summer Olympics.  Many don’t know that St. Louis has a prominent history in the Olympics.  This is in addition to the 1904 World’s Fair.

We will play Jazz celebrating St. Louis’ role in the Olympic games, as many tunes celebrating this year’s Olympics in China.

Many local artists are featured, including St. Louis Stompers, Professor Bill Edwards, Russ David, Gene Rodemich’s Orchestra, and Stan Kann.

In addition, we are featuring new Jazz from local sensation Erin Bode (pictured) from her new recording Little Garden.

Erin will be one of the premiere entertainers at the upcoming Old Webster Jazz and Blues Festival, coming this September!

We sure hope you enjoy our latest show and enjoy the Olympic games too!

On this week’s show we pay tribute to our MEMORIAL DAY holiday in a musical sort of way.

We also introduce new releases including the wonderful previously unreleased Duke Ellington -NEW YORK, NEW YORK. Gene Bertoncini has an outstanding new release-CONCERTI. My favorite female jazz small group is Five Play & their new release on Arbors is outstanding.

Kris Gale, Tedd Firth & Harry Allen also have wonderful new recordings.

I continue to be amazed at the high quaility of Japanese women piano players and my newest find is among the best in this long tradition-Chihiro Yamanaka deserves your attention.

We honor the memories of Georgie Auld, Artie Shaw,Miles Davis & Joe Pass.
Enjoy the best of the best.
