Music Director Notes 4-10-12: Picks of the Week

Howdy, all!

Well, we survived yet another Fund Drive, and I want to thank all of you again for your hard work.  All in all, the KRZA staff thinks that this was the most smoothly-run drive ever (at least in our collective memory!) and we couldn't have done it without all of you!  You rock!

This will be short and sweet, since, now that Sound Exchange is done, I have a lot of previewing to catch up on!  :-)

NEW IN THE LIBRARY:

ECLECTIC: Montana Skies is a classical/rock crossover duo featuring cello and guitar.  If you love the 2Cellos CD,  you're going to dig these two!

ROCK: Freshkills sounds like David Bowie, the B52's, and the Cars all rolled into one.  Good, tight playing, great lyrics; just watch out for Track #3.

JAZZ: A KRZA fan donated a four-disk Quadromania compilation of Miles Davis.  In my experience, these collections have more than their fair share of bad takes by the great names--which is probably why this donor decided to unload it--but there are usually a few gems worth digging for.  And if you're looking for a particular song, it's almost guaranteed you'll be able to find it here, so it's an easy place to look for requests.

Thanks as always, folks, and we'll see you next week!
