Notes from the Music Director 1-16-12

Howdy, all!

You might have noticed that there is a new yellow form in the log.  On one side of this form is a sheet summarizing the underwriting that needs to be read during the live shows.  You may use this as a checklist if you like.  Eventually, the log needs to legally document what goes out over the air, not act as a prompt for us DJs, and we're evolving toward that.

On the other side of the form is a summary of the daily shows.  The hope is that you--o, accommodating, wonderful people that you are--will take the time to promo the shows coming up after yours, or the next days' shows if yours is a nighttime show.  It's a nice way for us all to support each other and KRZA, don't you think?

Now, on to the new music:

World Music folks: "Novalimba" is a band out of Lima, Peru, and this disc makes a really nice addition to our library.  Enjoy!

Acoustic DJs: We are excited to add Ani Difranco's latest album, "Which Side Are You On?" to our library! Also,  Kathleen Edwards' "Voyageur" features backup vocals by none other than Norah Jones.  Also, The Pines is a really top-notch folk-rock ensemble...and I'm hard to please. Check 'em out!

Sing It Sister hosts: Wow, what a haul this week for your show!  In addition to the two wonderful women artists mentioned above, we have not just one, but TWO new female jazz instrumentalists to highlight: Janice Finlay, who makes that alto sax stand up and talk; and a rare bird indeed, female jazz BASSIST, Marlene Rosenberg.  Add to these four artists amazing gospel singer and pianist Lori Kester--from La Jara, no less!--and that's practically your whole show!

All right, enough enthusing for this week.  Until next time...
