Jelly Roll Morton | Slow Swing and "Sweet Jazz Music" | Complete Congress Recordings | Milestone | The "inventor" of jazz here describing why jazz should not be loud or discordant but only drawn from the finest sources. | 0:33:47 (Pop-up) |
Adolph Pavlas & His Bohemians | Vzpominky Z Mladi (Memories of Youth) | Texas Czech: Bohemian-Moravian Bands | Arhoolie | This one's here to show the deep influence of POLKA and Czech immigrants around Texas on early jazz -- the tuba bass line influencing the left hand of Stride or Ragtime pianists. | 0:38:51 (Pop-up) |
Bix Biederbecke | Krazy Kat (Tone Poem in Slow Rhythm) | 20 Classic Tracks | Em Jazz | ||
Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young | How Deep is the Ocean | Classic Tenors | Contact | ...Still that same kind of bass line in the mix, but starting to take on the tonal-harmonic feel that would eventually lead to Charlie Parker | 0:43:56 (Pop-up) |
Johnny Hodges | Romeo | The Complete Verve Small Sessions | Verve | 0:47:40 (Pop-up) | |

Cannata | Hand in Hand | Images of Forever | Oxford Circus | 0:56:22 (Pop-up) | |
Richard Marx | Should've Known Better | A/T | Capitol | It's sorta funny I consider this painfully mainstream, but I wasn't finding him played on WFMU basically ever in the archives, and could not find a lot of AOR or easy listening in the FMU library today. | 1:00:51 (Pop-up) |
Bobby Brown | Roni | Don’t be Cruel | UMG | 1:04:49 (Pop-up) | |
Pages | Let it Go | S/T | Sony | 1:10:38 (Pop-up) | |
Marc Jordan | Margarita | A Hole in the Wall | Sound Design | Some "marina rock" for you here, yacht rock that never sailed the high seas of the billboard lists | 1:14:43 (Pop-up) |
Zapp | Do You Really Want an Answer? | Zapp II | Warner | My fave Zapp song, very different feel without the vocoder on. | 1:19:01 (Pop-up) |
Greg Phillinganes | Lazy Nina | Pulse | Planet | Produced by Donald Fagan! He was a session musician on many mega hits. | 1:25:44 (Pop-up) |
Kenny G & Kashif | Love on the Rise | Gravity | Arista | Closing out the smooth set with the synthesis of the dialectical struggle between the Kenny G's - the battle between Fluxus and smooth jazz -- resulting in Kashif, whose transcendent disco stylings resolve this Moment of tension. | 1:31:27 (Pop-up) |
Music behind DJ: David Foster |

Jobyphonic | Miss Wanna Die | N/A | N/A | Kind of touching song about contemplation of suicide. Not a real human voice, made with Vocaloid software. | 1:40:48 (Pop-up) |
Fred Hammond | Jesus Be A Fence | Purpose By Design | Zomba | Love how this style of gospel music gives such incredible space for varied vocal performers -- you expect the choir, multiple soloists, the pastor MC'ing the thing, and HELLA slap bass and rippin instrumental vamps. Interesting to watch the musicians follow the pastor on the fly using the "Nashville Number System". | 1:43:35 (Pop-up) |
Ricky Dillard & New G | There Is No Way | Unplugged…The Way Church Used To Be | Crystal Rose | 1:50:52 (Pop-up) | |
Kurt Carr | In the Sanctuary | Awesome Wonder | Gospo Centric | The pauses between the truck-driver modulations up a half step at the end of the song so much more effective than you usually hear. | |
Ed Motta | S.O.S. Amor | AOR | LAB 344 | That purdy shuffle. | 2:03:40 (Pop-up) |
Rance Allen | When Jesus Comes for Me | His Last Singing Sermon | Come Clean Entertainment | Perhaps the most influential gospel vocalist of the last 40 years | 2:06:25 (Pop-up) |
Gregory Porter | No Love Dying | Liquid Spirit | Blue Note | Very WBGO feel, his voice is unbelievable, his taste is hit and miss. Other good songs are Consequence of Love, Brown Grass, Hey Laura, Water Under Bridges. | 2:11:29 (Pop-up) |
Chike and Simi | Running (To You) | Single | Brothers | 2:15:13 (Pop-up) | |
Teni | Case | Single | Dr Dolor | 2:18:22 (Pop-up) | |
Bugle | Nuh Compatible | Anointed | Daseca | I believe Bugle mostly makes Christian music, but this one is about an impossible relationship since "me want soul food, you want burger". | 2:21:46 (Pop-up) |
Mayorkun | Up To Something | Single | Davido | 2:25:12 (Pop-up) | |
Olakira | In My Maserati | Single | U and I | 2:28:08 (Pop-up) | |

Forth Wanderers | Ages Ago | S/T | Sub Pop | Montclair! North Jersey emos represent. | 2:34:35 (Pop-up) |
Fountains of Wayne | The Girl I Can't Forget | Out-of-State Plates | Virgin | Montclair! Wish this song was produced differently more like GVB...but such a nice story. Weirdly never been played on the station before. | 2:36:26 (Pop-up) |

Not too much talking, unlike SOME OTHER NYC jazz radio programs where the DJ (who was eminently knowledgeable about jazz) literally couldn't keep quiet for more than one or two songs before launching into a 20 minute discourse.
Your show is great!

And how sweet a story it is
When you hear Charley Parker
tell it,
Either on records or at sessions,
Or at offical bits in clubs,
Shots in the arm for the wallet,
Gleefully he Whistled the
perfect
horn
Anyhow, made no difference.
