Playlist and Notes 24 October 2023

Today’s show is “theme-less.” It is midterms, everyone is stressed, and I would like to hear some good and comforting music. I hope you do too.

 

Playlist

The Heath Brothers – Autumn in New York

Arne Domnérus – Limehouse Blues

Connie Han – Crime Zone

Black Flower – Magma

Gregory Hines – Last Chance Blues

Blossom Dearie – Love is Here to Stay

Lee Dorsey – Someday

Ibrahim Maalouf – Maeva In the Wonderland

 

Notes

Connie Han is one of the rising stars in jazz today. Check out piano virtuosity in this video of her in concert playing a Chick Corea song.

I am intrigued by the band, Black Flower, which is heavily influenced by Ethiopian Jazz. Here is a live performance of Ankor Wat. If you are interested in learning more about Ethio-Jazz, make sure to check out the music of Mulatu Astatke.
