Really going all over this session of Bridging the Gap. Picking music mostly on the fly and skipping all over the place... and trying to hit some Ska, Cumbia and Hip-Hop of the two hours.

Today, sacred and secular music for your enjoyment. The first hour of the program is all about St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, including an interview with Dr. Tim Carney of an upcoming concert of works by Bach and Gounod. In the rest of the program, I'll feature works of a more secular nature, although they may soothe and charm the spirit, whether sacred of secular. You'll hear works by Handel, Purcell, Bach, Danzi, and more.

It's not quite summertime (the season technically starts on June 21st and runs till September). But the weather has been nice and it seems fitting to roll out some early summertime music. So this session of Bridging the Gap is going to be a sunny swirl of psychedelic rock, surf, bossa and other lightweight fun.

So I've been itching to do another mixed show just focused on downtempo... primarily around a sub-focus called Mushroom Jazz... mostly instrumental Hip-Hop breaks with a jazzy influence pioneered by Mark Farina or a series of mixtapes. It's something to put on, chillout, sip your martini and nod your head to the beat.
