Picking off where Ray Cruz left off, and just stringing some songs together for your Friday evening. Going back and forth between Latin Jazz, new light electronic sounds and a little indie rock.
Sticking the the Jazz this evening... with a very loose representation as to what that may mean. Exploring both contemporary and traditional Jazz, with new releases mixed in.
For most part... I'm picking music on the fly for this session of Bridging the Gap, but trying to steer towards a more global, more upbeat feeling of exploration.
Celebrating this Martin Luther King Jr. Day with timeline of songs. Starting with the civil war, moving through the horror of lynching and slavery, then moving into songs taken from, or inspired by the civil rights movement.
Turning towards a more electronic sound for this evenings session of Bridging the Gap. Wrapping it all around a new release from the Chemical Brothers... so it's a good night to strap on the headphones and turn the bass up.
Once in a while a picture can inspire an entire show. In this case it's this shot of Johnny Cash by Jim Marshall shaking hands with an inmate at his performance at Folsom Prison. So I'm starting there, and finding my way with you.
There's a lot going on in tonight's session of Bridging the Gap. We're celebrating the birthday of David Bowie, looking back on the impact of Alan R. Pearlman founder of ARP Instruments who passed away on January 6th, and reflecting on the struggles over the border.
Paying tribute through song to Christa Wittmier, better known as Super CW who lost her fight with cancer yesterday. She was a wonderful co-dj and always brightened the room.
Since this show is a AAA format...and it's all about keeping the air eclectic, that's just what I'm going to do for tonight's show, trying to skip all over the place, in all sorts of different genres.
Happy New Years to you and yours! For this 1st show of the year, I'm just running through a few favorites that carry a sprit of hope and reflection to start us all out on the right foot.
Here we go! The last show for Bridging the Gap for 2018. ...and it's day 3 of the best of 2018. Some new releases, and a few songs that I just couldn't live without.
For the next 3 days (my last 3 shows of the year), I'm counting down favorites from 2018. Some new releases, and a few songs that I just couldn't live without.
It's Christmas Day... and wishing you all a happy holiday. Tonight's show is is going to be a collection of a few Christmas songs as well as a few other songs that remind me of winter and a reflective holiday season.
Full confession. I hate Christmas music. It's just too programed, and rammed down our throats. With that said... there are a few standouts here and there, and that's what will make up tonight's session of Bridging the Gap.
Soundtracking the Winter Solstice in the session of Bridging the Gap. The actual solstice takes place 23 minutes after the show ends, so it's as close as we're going to get together. Expect mellow, pretty reflective sounds to fill the late night air.
This set is going to be upbeat. Upbeat with a global twist...working out possible selections for tomorrows opening set for Jeremy Sole (pictured) at Soulgasm.
Digging into roots music in this session of Bridging the Gap. Sampling a little vintage Hawaiian music from the Royal Hawaiian Troubadours, the resurgence of African American folk, and a little modern Americana.
