The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Musician's Corner: Judy Wexler Air Date: 4/5/2026 on 90.5 WICN 9am-12pm ET If you miss the air date: click here for the archi ves for up to two weeks . LA-Based vocalist Judy Wexler has released seven CDs during the course of her twenty-year career. She is known for finding great songs that are often overlooked. This was specifically the goal on one of her earlier CDs, Crowded Heart, released in 2019. I was thrilled to hear the songs on this CD, many of which were somewhat familiar but which I hadn't heard in quite some time. We'll hear a few songs from this CD during Sunday's show. Her latest CD is called No Wonder, and here we are back to favorite Great American Songbook tunes, such as You Stepped Out of a Dream and That Sunday, That Summer - with some exceptions. Two of the exceptions will be the subject of our interview. Ms. Wexler will talk about the title track No Wonder , written and arranged by...

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Our Operators are Standing By Air Date: 3/15/2026 on 90.5 WICN 9am-12pm ET Thankfully, our equipment is a bit more modern than what is pictured. But do you see those happy smiles? That's how we look when a great song is playing on the air, which is most of the time. I hope you can support our cause, which is jazz plus - the plus referring to our great evening lineup of folk, blues, and other types of music practically ignored by commercial media. And speaking of equipment, did you know that WICN continues to maintain and upgrade our equipment, such as our transmitter, which thankfully has been working well so far this year. Anyway, that's where the money goes when you call with your pledge of support to keep jazz plus going. On the next edition of the Sunday Jazz Brunch, I'll be asking for your support. So call us between 9am and 12pm during the SJB to pledge. The number is: 508-752-0700. If you would like to pledge onlin...

LISTEN TO THE SEGMENT HERE Good friends of WICN-FM 90.5, vocalist Mafalda Minnozzi and her music director, producer, and guitarist Paul Ricci, will talk about their latest CD, Riofonic, on the next edition of the Sunday Jazz Brunch. If you are a regular listener you might recall that they have appeared a few times live in Studio 50, both times broadcast during the show. Now we have an audio piece produced by Mr. Ricci that will air between 10am and 11am ET during this Sunday's show. Included will be a discussion of the different beats incorporated into some of the songs - not all of which use the famed and irresistable bossa nova beat that we all love. But here we have something that uses African rhythms, and I hope you...

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Time Traveling: Best of 2024 Air Date: 1/18/2026 on 90.5 WICN 9am-12pm ET If you miss the air date: click here for the archi ves for up to two weeks So we're still at the beginning of 2026 and we've heard the best of 2025. The tradition on the Sunday Jazz Brunch is to revisit previous BEST OF shows, as it is a shame to only play such a show once or twice. We always want the best and these will give it to us in spades. So on the next edition of SJB we'll travel back further, to 2024, which had a whole bunch of really great releases. Click here for the blog entry for this show. It gives you all the info you need. One change, though. As SJB is now a three-hour show, I had to edit the original show to fit the format. The new playlist is below. Best, Marty HOUR ONE: Contemplative Morning Judy Whitmore\Come Fly With Me 2024\Moonlight In Vermont John Lee\Second Wind 2024\Why Was I Bor...

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Best of 2025 Air Date: 1/11/2026 on 90.5 WICN 9am-12pm ET If you miss the air date: click here for the archi ves for up to two weeks Another year rolls around, and another Best Of show comes your way. Three hours of the best CDs with the best tracks, where else can you hear such a surfeit of great jazz? Tune in to the Sunday Jazz Brunch this coming Sunday and plan to hang and relax for the whole show, because I doubt you'll be able to turn it off once you hear these great songs by today's jazz artists. I don't want to say too much here because the music speaks for itself mostly. Sure, I will guide you through during the show and I will provide the backstories and artist notes where appropriate, but make no mistake, it's all about the music. Certainly, this list is really the Marty Friedman Best Of 2025 show, because I did not get every new jazz CD released. In fact, there are a few that I discovered I had not yet listened to by ...

In the weeks ahead, there will be time for reflection and also for putting together the 'best of' show, something I always look forward to. Meanwhile, for Sunday's show, I have chosen some of the most beautiful music I could find. You'll hear extraordinary jazz with strings during the first hour. Steve Kuhn, one of my favorite pianists of all time, opens the show with a wonderful string orchestra. Then wait until you hear the string arrangement by Alan Broadbent for Georgia Mancio's 2025 release A Story Left Untold, listening to the title track. Then we have the young Montreal guitarist Sam Kirmayer, perhaps my favorite unsung artist. He has a fabulous tone. Paul McCandless plays oboe and I can't think of any other jazz oboists off the top of my head. His work...

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Musician's Corner: Ted Rosenthal Air Date: 11/16/2025 on 90.5 WICN 9am-12pm ET If you miss the air date: click here for the archi ves for up to two weeks . LISTEN TO THE SEGMENT HERE Regular listeners of the Sunday Jazz Brunch know how much I like a good piano trio. There something very elegant and pure about these three instruments playing together. This year we have a bounty of material from pianist Ted Rosenthal and his trio. It is not often that we encounter an artist who has four simultaneous releases. I must admit that I was confused initially when I heard about his follow-on project to a CD released in 2010 called Impromptu , in which Mr. Rosenthal arranges classical works for jazz piano trio. The new CD, titled Impromp2 , continues the work crossing over between classical and jazz. However, when I got his 'new CD,' it had a different title! So here are the four releases: Classics Reimagined: Impromp2 The Ted Rosenthal Son...
