More Platter, Less Chatter

Air Date: 10/10/2021

A few weeks ago while I was doing an interview, I received an email from a listener. It was very complimentary about the show, but there was this little problem: Too much talk! The listener used that phrase above, which I had never heard before. Excellent!

I hear you. I promised I would take this feedback into account. And I have!

Whenever I do interviews now, I try to keep my talk to a minimum, so as to allow the artist full reign over the time we have. In addition, I have made some subtle changes to how I organize the tunes for you. I think you can hear the difference. 

But I would like you to tell me how it sounds . So have a listen. With four distinct parts to the show, you can decide if you want  to be contemplative, hear the latest tracks, dance to some fine Brazilian and world music, or groove away the final hour of the show. 

Let me know what you think. My email address is marty@wicn.org.

I'm so glad that you listen to the Sunday Jazz Brunch!

Recently Gabriel Espinosa performed with his superb band. In the photo above, we see Mr. Espinosa feeling the bass, with drummer Graciliano Zambonin reacting to the groove of the moment. Misha Tsiganov Also featured in the group was the very talented Misha Tsiganov on piano, as well as Aviana Gedler vocals and violin, and Alexandra Ridout trumpet and flugelhorn. Aviana Gedler Alexandra Ridout Not only was the music simply great to listen and groove to, but Mr. Espinosa's talk about the songs made it very interesting. There was music from Brazil, as well as music from Mr. Espinosa's home, Yucatán Mexico. In addition, we heard a Cuban Bolero, a Spanish folk tune, and even a Latin version of the Carpenters' Close to You . There is nothing like im...
