This Wednesday I will host the last Jazz Notes show for 2018! Early in the show I will spin Christmas music and tracks that have religious or classical sounds and happy themes. Franks Sinatra, Michel Donato and friends, oboist Cally Banham, and Matt Dusk will provide the Christmas tunes. Our man in New Orleans, John Doheny, had a birthday this week, so he will take us on a trip to “Player’s Inn.” Sadly, the beautiful voice of Nancy Wilson, was silenced last week and I will play a couple of her songs. The Big Easy Gumbo segment will feature more New Orleans artists doing Christmas material. New music instrumentals will include Jon Batiste, Ernesto Cervini’s Turboprop and the Andre Lefaivre Quartet. Then, we will swing into New Years’ mode with tracks from Diana Krall, Johnny Otis and ending with the original Mr. New Year, Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians, playing the iconic “Auld Lang Syne.” Hope you can tune in for a bit at thex.ca and at 92.5 FM in Kamloops. Jazz Notes Wednesday 5-7 PM PST. Peace.
