The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents

Eugenie Jones

Air Date: 4/6/2025 on 90.5 WICN 9am-12pm ET

This week on the Sunday Jazz Brunch we'll hear two songs from vocalist Eugenie Jones' new self-titled CD. Ms. Jones kicked off her recording career in 2013 with the release of Black Lace, Blue Tears. This is her fifth album release, and it includes covers of songs written or made famous by Carole King, Nina Simone, and Marvin Gaye. In addition, the CD features several original numbers.
 
About her music career and making the CD, Ms. Jones has this to say: 
 
"I didn't study music in school; I graduated with an MBA and initially worked in corporate marketing. It wasn't until later that I realized my natural musical abilities, which I believe I inherited from my mother. Even without a formal music education, I feel fortunate to create songs that resonate with listeners, entertain them, and uplift their spirits."

NEW FORMAT 

With this show we begin a new format for the Sunday Jazz Brunch. The show begins at 9am ET and ends at 12pm as usual. The 8am hour will now feature more time with Sunday Classical, and I am happy to help provide more great classical music on WICN. Kudos to Sunday Classical host Eric Gratton!

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...

The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents Musician's Corner: Tania Grubbs Air Date: 12/22/2024 on 90.5 WICN 8am-12pm ET LISTEN TO THE SEGMENT HERE   Vocalist Tania Grubbs has released her second album, The Sound of Love . When I looked at the song list, I was reassured and impressed upon finding Duke Ellington's Sound of Love . Her take on this song is masterful. During her Musician's Corner interview, she will talk about two songs on the new CD, Tadd Dameron's If You Could See Me Now , and an original composition entitled The Sculptor's Hands .  What I noticed about Mrs Grubbs is that she finds new ways to express standards from the Great American Songbook. I found her version of Something to Live For to be superb, as well as Slow Hot Wind .  ................................................................................................................................................. Tune in at 9:20 am ET  to hear this edition of Musician's Corner.  ..................
