Female Vocalists, New Material

Air Date: 7/11/2021

I've discovered that the category of female jazz vocalists exhibits a cyclical nature; that is, new releases come in waves. And at the moment, we have a wave!

On this edition of the Sunday Jazz Brunch you'll hear a track or two from our spotlight vocalists: Anaïs Reno, Tanya Dennis, Joanie Pallatto, Jacqui Naylor, and Zoe Carter-Fitzgerald.

Beginning during hour one, we have Tanya Dennis singing the title number from her new cd, White Sails Blue Skies, a tribute to the boating life. I felt something when listening to her songs, and now I know that if I imagine myself on a sailboat on a clear summer morning, then that's where this song wants me to be and what it wants me to feel.

Also during hour one we have seventeen-year-old Anaïs Reno. In between her drama studies at Laguardia High School for the Performing Arts in New York City, she has time to record an Ellington/Strayhorn tribute CD! We''ll hear Strayhorn's Daydream during the hour.

Georgia Mancio and Alan Broadbent

Here's a nice writeup on Zoe Carter-Fitzgerald, an eclectic singer with roots in Americana and blues. Her latest CD Waterlines, only her second, features jazz and country along with blues and Americana based music. The track I picked for you to end the first hour is probably a jazz tune. 🎷😎

Jacqui Naylor has been singing her own eclectic form of jazz since 1998, when she released her self-titled debut album. During hour two you'll hear a track from her newest CD -- her thirteenth album, titled The Long Game. 

Joanie Pallatto features the excellent guitarist Fareed Haque, and we hear a tune from her new CD My Original Plan that showcases Mr. Haque as well as pianist Bradley Parker-Sparrow.

Also featured is vocalist Georgia Mancio. Her new CD with pianist/composer/arranger Alan Broadbent is called Quiet is the Star. Ms. Mancio has a pure, angelic voice. It is clear from all the tunes that there is a perfectly 'simpatico' musical relationship between the two artists. And I always use that cute picture whenever the opportunity arises!

I hope your summer is going well, and thanks for listening to the Sunday Jazz Brunch.

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Musician's Corner:  Greg Abate Remembers Phil Woods Air Date: 4/30/2023 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET LISTEN TO THE SEGMENT HERE Bird Lives! That's my first reaction upon hearing a good bebop alto saxophonist. Which is getting harder to do these days. One artist who has kept the bebop tradition alive is Rhode Island's own Greg Abate . Closing in on twenty recordings since his first live date in 1991, Mr. Abate is a prolific exponent of the jazz genre. That's also true for Phil Woods, Mr. Abate's friend, band mate, and sometimes mentor. Mr. Woods, whose discography stretches seeming endlessly, played together with Mr. Abate, and you'll hear them perform Moonlight in Vermont during the Musician's Corner segment that airs between 9:30 - 10am ET on the Sunday Jazz Brunch. Tune in between 9:30 - 10AM ET to hear this Musician's Corner Segment featuring Greg Abate and Phil Woods. The opening number is a ballad that Mr. Abate wrote,

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Musician's Corner: Aimée Allen and Love's Crescendo Air Date: 5/28/2023 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET LISTEN TO THE SEGMENT HERE One song. Two arrangements.  On the next Musician's Corner you'll hear a beautiful, meditative song called Love's Crescendo , with melody written by Turkish jazz artist Fahir Atakoğlu, and lyrics written and sung by vocalist Aimée Allen. It is a delicious collaboration.   During this segment, Ms. Allen talks about how Mr. Atakoğlu played the song for her on piano while singing wordless melody. Stunned by its beauty, she agreed to write words that express the profound feeling the melody induces. The subject could only be one thing: love.  Her words are not about romantic love specifically - rather, it is universal love that she wishes to convey to us, the listeners. While the original version of the song appeared on Mr. Atakoğlu's 2020 CD For Love , Ms. Allen liked it enough to include a slightly new arrangem

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Best of 2023 Air Date: 1/14/2024 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET It's time to look back at the best jazz releases of 2023. In that year I played approximately 200 new CDs. I suppose it is obvious, but just to be clear, my list represents the best from this group , and excludes CDs that we didn't receive, of which I am sure there are many. You might like to take a look at a prior 'best of' show where I laid out my philosophy (if I may use so grand a term!) behind this list.  Don't miss this show. As a jazz lover, you owe it to yourself to hear the best of the latest material.   Tune in Sunday 8:00AM ET  to hear the best jazz of 2023. And now for our annual tradition. I present to you, in play order, the Sunday Jazz Brunch Best of 2023 . 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Sam Taylor: Let Go   Saxophonist with big Ben-Webster-type sound.
