GM's MUSIC BOX/ KHUS, 90.5/ MON., 16 AUG. 2010


Photographer Herman Leonard is best known for his iconic images of jazz greats shot in New York jazz clubs in the late 1940's and 1950's. He died on Sat., August 14th. He was 87 years old. His work has endured, capturing legends such as Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday and Dexter Gordon, in their smoke-filled after-hours environment. Pictured here is a young Dianne Carroll providing a light for Louis Armstrong as Duke Ellington looks on.

B.W.'s PLAYLIST/ KHSU, 90.5/ SAT., 14 AUG. 2010


UK singer/songwriter Pete Molinari has recently released a terrific follow-up to his 2009 EP, Today, Tomorrow and Forever, recorded in Nashville, with a full-length A Train Bound For Glory, on the independent London label, Clarksville Recordings. He basically uses the same crew of Nashville-based musicians, including producer/instrumentalist Adam Landry, The Jordanaires and The McCrary Sisters. It's an album full of country, folk and mersey beat influences. An excellent third album by a talented singer/songwriter.
