Nighten-M A L E S

May is Male jazz singer month! I just declared it so.

Time to give the guys their due. Our Hi-Rotation jazz list for May is all Men.

So, Here they are Ladies and Gents!

                                                          'The Testoster-Tones.'

THEO BLECKMAN- His encomparable recording called 'Duet for One.' He seems to be singing in 2 separate voices at times. No tricks, no overdubs...just the human instrument.

TONY DEPAOLIS- Hidden away among the many great instrumentals on his release 'The Contemporary Dynamic'  bassist Tony DP turns in a lovely, tender vocal on this old undiscovered gem. 'East Side of Heaven.' Take that Bing Crosby.

BOBBY MCFERRIN- A masterly 'Round Midnight' from the film of the same name. 

What time is it, Sir?

The other men highly rotating are:

 AL JARREAU     MICHAEL SCHIEFEL   MARK MURPHY    BILLY BRANDT
                               IAN SHAW       KURT ELLING     FRANK SINATRA     TONY BENNETT
      STEVIE WONDER    GIACOMO GATES     RAY CHARLES      TAKE 6

So, tune in during jazz hours and get a special treat of the....the music...the joy....the men of jazz singing!

"Did You Want To See Me Broken?" 12/9/2012

"Did You Want To See Me Broken?"

Please support WNJR's very own host of 'Riddum', Michelle Kelly as she performs at her final showcase in The Alley of the Hub on Sunday, December 9th at both times of 2:00pm and 7:00pm!

 The play is called "Did You Want To See Me Broken?" which features stories of her childhood growing up in the Virgin Islands. Be a part of Michelle's journey that she took as a brave young girl.  We hope that you are able to make it because Michelle has put a lot of work and heart into this project.   A talk back will be held immediately after each performance where the audience is encouraged to ask questions about the show, stories, a process Michelle went through for her Capstone.
