Thanks Darin!
Great to hear the feedback and glad you're liking the mix between voice and music...!
That was Marian McPartland by the way. She's a 92 yr old jazz pianist who has run a series called 'Piano Jazz' on National Public Radio in the US since 1978. What a legend...!
Cheers
Its 2.28pm and I am listening to radio -ABC jazz on tv. I am just blown away by the announcer. She is intelligent listening. At first,having grown accustomed to listening to the "noise" and drama on commercial radio stations, thought she was over the hill and too boring - how wrong I was! She is incredible: clued up with the music,talented and intelligent- I am now sold to listening to the quality of her comments. Simply WOW!
Great music and lovely conversation.
I would like to hear more by John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Stanley Clark, John Coltrane if not too much to ask. John McLaughlin is doing so much in innovations and would be lovely if your station could keep abreast of such progress in musical evolution.
Take Care
Love your contribution.
Mwaah!
