Posted May 15, 2013 by cafejazz

This Week at CafeJazz.ca:
From 2011 ... a trio of tracks from Konstantin and the cd Groove Jazz N Chill#1 on the showcase segment. In the second half, we're turning back the hands of time for the Vintage Collection - this installment is highlighted by Vangelis with one of the biggest instrumental hits of the 80s, the duo Quintana + Speer, Andrew Glover, David Garfield, and Alan King ... on the radio show that continues to explore new directions in jazz!

On After Hours: December Bossa
… from December of 2011 - all the selections in the hour have bossa in the title - so in keeping with this we've dubbed the feature December Bossa after the Gold Coast tune with that very name. There are 13 selections including Bossalectro by Marc Antoine, David Benoit with Botswanna Bossa Nova, Who's the Bossa from Patrick Yandall, and Marcos Ariel's Bossa Love!

This Week at CafeJazz.ca:
From 2011 ... in the spotlight on this edition it's the band Watson's Riddle while the second half of the show has new music with Pete Gitlin and Rocco & Rahj. Also appearing are bassman David Hughes, Richie Cannata, and Terrence Young. But Acoustic Alchemy is first up - their cd AArt is now fully ten years old and from that effort we're ready to savor the favor of Senjo Wine!

On After Hours: It Seems to Hang On
Five shows ago, Peter White started our cover tune series with a Jr. Walker & The All Stars tune. So now 60 selections down the road we've come full circle, as today's parting track is a read on another Jr. Walker classic - from Dave McMurray it'll be Walk in the Night. Also cued are Cindy Bradley, Marion Meadows, Chuck Leavell, Stanley Jordan, and A. Ray Fuller. With 12 selections that include Scarborough Fair, So May It Secretly Begin, and Oye Como Va, we're calling the segment It Seems to Hang On for a Paul Hardcastle tune. In the meantime, we begin with a Russ Freeman tribute to the late Grover Washington, Jr.!

On After Hours: Hard Times
We've fallen on Hard Times on this the 4th in our cover tune series. Yes these are Hard Times indeed as all the selections are cover tunes, be it from pop, jazz or from regions in between. We have a 13 track set featuring Our Love by Brian Simpson, Fallen from Warren Hill, as well as Club 1600 with Stay; and it's all named for a Queen Latifah take on a track by Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band from 1976. But to begin there's Jeff Golub. From the cd Do It Again, Jeff takes us on a spin with the Stevie Wonder tune Jesus Children of America - on the Hard Times edition!
