“In every cloud there is a silver lining”
Posted on Sunday, January, 5, 2020 in News | Comments Off on “In every cloud there is a silver lining”
As the days “sequestered at home” roll by, it has been an unexpected pleasure to have the time to search for, discover and listen to music that I have never heard before. As you would expect much of this music is jazz vocal music, but my long term affinity for harmony filled rock music, British folk-rock, Brazilian music, and singer/songwriters has filled my days with many hours of pleasurable listening. But that’s only half of the “silver lining”. What has been unexpected is the time to go back and listen to so many albums in my collection that I have not heard for many years.
Hope to feature some of these recent “re-discoveries” on future Vocal Sound of Jazz programs. Stay tuned and stay well!
The VOCAL SOUND OF JAZZ began airing on 89.5 FM (now WHRV-FM) on January 4th 1980. Originally a 30 minute program that aired on Friday evenings, the program expanded to it current 60 minute format and moved to Saturday evenings during the 90s. It was also aired over WUOM in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a five-year period in the late 1980s.
Produced and hosted by Jack Frieden since its premiere broadcast, the program has always attempted to spotlight both jazz vocal music’s post 1950s history, as well as the new singers and songs that will continue to play an increasingly prominent role in the music’s future. With the internet’s ability to attract and entertain jazz vocal fans globally, Jack looks forward to broadening the mission and reach of the “Vocal Sound of Jazz” in coming years.
