The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents

Happy New Year

Air Date: 1/5/2025 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET

2025 - That seems like a big number to me. 

According to many older movies, we should be in flying cars by now. On Mars.

Or, by now the aliens have contacted us and have either destroyed us or have led us to the next stage in evolution. Wait, no, we usually destroy the aliens after we find out their one fatal flaw.

I remember getting a 30-year mortgage and calculating when it would be paid off - I knew that number looked familiar.

I thought 2024 was a big number. Now it seems like simple past history. It's in the dustbin now.

What will never be in the dustbin is great music. It lives on, especially on The Sunday Jazz Brunch.

I am looking forward to putting together the Best of 2024, so we can remember all the wonderful feelings we had listening to the best jazz. 

May you have a happy and healthy 2025.

Best,

Marty

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Gabriel Espinosa: From Yucatán to Tarrytown Air Date: 7/7/2024 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET I'm impressed with the lineup of artists appearing at Mark Morganelli's Jazz Forum in Tarrytown, New York. 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...
