Stream WICN Now

If you are a fan of guitarist Chris Standring, you won't want to miss this week's Groove Hour, Sunday 11am ET, streaming from our WICN page. We're going to take a very condensed tour of a big chunk of his releases, as shown above. This will include his latest Simple Things, still fairly fresh off the presses.

Chris Standring has been rather busy of late, producing three CDs in quick order and touring all around. One of those three CDs was something of a departure for Mr. Standring, as he played the standards along with strings.

If you are not familiar with Mr Standring, he is a modern guitarist, with a heavy influence of Wes Montgomery. 

 

Every track you hear from Mr. Standring during Groove Hour has some kind of groove. Between that groove and the buttery tone, the sound is infectious, sweeping you up. Don't fight the urge to get up and dance during these sets.

Mixed in with Groove Hour you'll hear some very soulful music, from artists like Nnenna Freelon and Bobby Caldwell. It's going to be a good time.

During Contemplative Hour I have a very beautiful song from saxophonist Jeff Ellwood, featuring Alan Pasqua on piano. Jeff provides a brief introduction, taken from an interview we did more than a year ago.

Contemplative Hour will take you through a lush garden of many moods. 

During New Hour you have the latest material. We happen to be in a high point in terms of the quality and quantity of music that is being released. I think that if you listen to this hour, you will be amazed at how much new material there is, that is really worth listening to.

I hope your summer is going well.

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 Guest Column: Photography and Jazz By Mitch Bleier Air Date: 7/23/2023 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET This is the first in a series of guest columns about the intersection of jazz and other arts - in this case photography.  Mitch Bleier is a NYC-based writer and educator turned photographer. He has recently shifted his camera from nature and cityscapes to live music performances. Contact him at mb626rsd@gmail.com or @mitch.bleier on Instagram. I’ve been listening to and enjoying jazz since the early 1970s. I also have been doing photography for an even longer time. In the past few years, I have found a way to merge the two. Photographing live performances has added a new dimension to my engagement with the music. I focus more intently on what is going on on the stage among the players. I try to get some good photos of each player and of various combinations and the whole band. Drummers are especially difficult as they are so often in the back and in the dar
