Notes from the Music Director 10-31-11

Happy Halloween, everyone!  Here are some of the latest additions to the KRZA music library; look for them on the shelves behind your chair in the studio:

Latin:
 - Bio Ritmo "La Verdad" is great Salsa with an electronic twist.  Prick up your ears to this sound!
 - Vadim Brunell has put out a lovely album of solo guitar.
 - For something different, try the David Murray Cuban Ensemble playing Nat King Cole.

Jazz:
 - Sonny Rollins's latest, Road Shows Vol. 2 is here!
 - Sophie Milman: This gal is only in her 20's, but has one of the best feels for jazz vocals that I've heard since Ella. And believer me, I'm hard to please!
 - Self-taught French jazzer Chris Joss has layered a new album, "No Play No Work".  Check it out!
 - Oscar Peterson's "Unmistakable" has be re-released.  Sublime!

World:
 - Joni Haastrup's "Wake Up Your Mind" is well worth a listen!  Also, check out "El Rego"


Singer/Songwriter:
 - Driftwood Fire is a top-drawer band from Boulder.
 - Jill Cohn has performed in the KRZA studios, as has Katya Chorover.  Make sure to support music performed locally!


Rock:
 - 9Tomorrows is a laid-back indie rock band with some reggae flavor.  I've been playing it on Monday Morning Mix-Up when subbing; one of my favorites of the new releases.

 - Wide Mouth Mason is a great blues-rock band.  If you wanna get down and dirty, this is the album for you!

 - Coldplay's newest, "Mylo Xyloto" is out, and on the shelf!  Enjoy!


Alternative:

 - Bjork's latest, "Biophilia" is on the top shelf of the new releases.

Until next time...
