Notes from the Music Director 9-26-2011

Sound Exchange Reporting is DONE with time to spare!  Thanks be to Spinitron--woo hoo!

Speaking of reporting, does anyone happen to know of an affordable alternative to CMJ?

I'm sure there are other news bits for you, but for now, my brain is fried.  I'm beginning to preview the backlog of new music.  Here are the latest and greatest additions to the KRZA library:

DON RICHMOND--and his brothers!--are featured in a new CD called "Roots and Branches".  Always awesome, you can find Roots and Branches to the far left of the Acoustic albums, propped up nice and prominently.

ROCK
Indie rockers, check out Friska Viljor, a great Scandinavian band whose whimsical music will make you     smile for hours.

Classic rockers, if you love Lynyrd Skynyrd, you'll love "American Goldwing".  Great!

If you like hardcore punk rock, Polar Bear Club is getting good reviews for "Clash Battle Guilt Pride".

JAZZ
I was looking for empty CD cases the other day, and lo and behold stumbled onto Red Garland's 1957 "Groovy" album.  Oh, yeah!

Afro/Latin jazz fans will find AfroBop Alliance's "Una Mas" a welcome listen.  I was torn as to whether to put it in the Jazz or Latin section, but it really is jazz, so it went there...but Latin DJs, feel welcome!

Thanks, all!  Until next time...
