“Sunday Night Swing Set with Linda Yohn” – Sundays 7p to 9p
To listen to an interview with Linda Yohn, conducted by Peter Whorf, click here.
Veteran jazz broadcaster Linda Yohn has joined 90.9 for a weekly program of swinging jazz standards. Swing is an elusive but essential jazz element. It is hard to define, but you know it when you hear it. Swing can be a sweet singer with a tasty small group, a blistering big band, a sublime piano trio, two tenor saxophones pursuing each other riff after riff, a highly syncopated Latin groove, a classic 1940s chestnut, a lusty blues-based vocalist rocking a gutsy big band, a crystalline vibraphone-based improvisation or a current elegant swing ensemble with inspirations and variations. The possibilities are endless!
WRCJ Swing Set playlist for July 31, 2022
With trees lushly leafed out, steamy temperatures, brilliant blue skies and spectacular sunsets, summer’s glory is upon us. We celebrated the season on the “Swing Set”. We also celebrated two important jazz musician birthdays – both who got their start in the Detroit area: Hank Jones, born, July 31st, 1918 and Kenny Burrell, born July 31st, 1931. Thank you for listening and being a part of the celebration. May your last six weeks of summer be filled with enjoyment of family and friends in the great outdoors and jazz!
