Friday 457

FridayMusicGroup



Good morning my friends and welcome back to Friday Music show 457 on a sultry summer day on the southern shores of Lake Ontario.
We have for some weeks now been sending out shows banked and ready to go in advance so Collin and I can both catch a little bit of a respite during the summer without compromising the quality of what we bring you every week.
That said I’m excited to bring you today show because it’s from this year‘s Rochester International Jazz Festival that I attended with my daughter Mailli and by the time we’re done today I hope you will agree that we heard some fine live music over 8 days back in late June.
So with sweltering summer heat swirling about our heads let’s jump on into the mothership where it will be cool not only musically but spiritually.
First off today is the last artist Mailli and I saw at the jazz fest and I can’t wait for you to hear this amazing chart.
It’s stunned me that night and this version is very close to what we heard except we heard a gentleman from Edinburgh Scotland sit in on a sax solo.
Today we hear the trumpet of Marquis Hill who has the distinct honors to play along with the amazing vocals of Kurt Elling on the song Endless Lawns.

A talented son of a pair of mega talented parents, John and Alice Coltrane.
Imagine being in the same room with their DNA floating around you while their son taps into his musical heritage for all of us.
That was Ravi Coltrane on Spirit Fiction.

Friday 455

FridayMusicGroup



Good morning my friends and welcome back to Friday Music show 455 which once again for the sake of sanity and for the sake of just taking a little break we have ourselves another exceptional guest DJ taking the helm and guiding the mothership to another fun Friday of music.
Today we’re all lucky to have back for another guest appearance my beautiful and talented middle daughter Oona.
We all get to hear together what she chose to tune us up with today and without any further ado I welcome her to the captains chair and turn this week show over to her right now.
Good morning sweetie, Let’s hear what you prepared for our ears today.

Thank you, Pops.

Bienvenue! This is Friday Music, my name is Oona and I’ll be your host, sharing with you my latest ambient rotation.
For this week‘s Friday Music, we revisit some possibly familiar film scores and sweet sounds to soothe the soul during a dark moment in US history.
Capturing sentiments shared by myself and many I love, this set is an homage to every person affected.
A soundscape designed to heal and reflect, we’re starting at the top of the list with Jean Constantin’s unforgettable score for Truffault’s 1959 film, Les 400 Coups / The 400 Blows.

That was The Four Freshman with “The Day Isn’t Long Enough”, Oberhofer with “Just When You Need Yourself”, Gustav Mahler’s “Symphony Number 5 in C Sharp”, and Jean Constantin with “Les 400 Coup” at the top of the set.
Mahler’s symphony was recently featured on the runway in Paris this past Spring in the wake of the war in Ukraine.
With each of these songs, there is a sense of something lost - innocence, longing, and love.
Up next is the beloved Piero Piccioni with “Amore che nasce” to help us dive further into our lucid dream today.

That was the iconic “Love Theme” from Robert Evans’ 1974 film “Chinatown”, song written by Jerry Goldsmith.
Thank you to my father for introducing me to this classic and decadent film filled with mystery and surprise.
It’s a score I’m sure many of you are familiar with and one that I find particularly beautiful.
At the top of the set we had Piero Piccioni’s “Amore che nasce”, followed by the ethereal resonance of Thee Sinseers with “It Was Only a Dream” and Stan Kenton with “You’re Mine, You”.
Next up: Martial Solal with “New York Herald Tribune” from Godard’s 1960 film “Breathless”/“A bout De Soufflé”.

That was Rodriguez with “I Think of You”, Nancy Sinatra with “June, July, and August”, Johnny Greenwood with “House of Woodcock” from the 2017 film “Phantom Thread”, and Martial Solal with “New York Herald Tribune”.
In 2018, I had the honor of seeing Rodriguez live with his daughter - a magical evening that touched my soul forever.
With a long and hot summer ahead of us, I will be leaving you today with a new favorite.
This is Dion with “In and Out of the Shadows”.

And remember - please be safe, be kind to yourself and your neighbor, and may all your Friday’s be filled with music.

Friday 454

FridayMusicGroup



Welcome back Space Cadets, here we are a year later and I'm back with another Road Show for your speakers.
Things aren't any better and some might say they’re even worse.
But if I've learned anything over the last couple of years it's that you gotta keep going.
So if you’re going through it, just hold on…

On those summer nights, when you find yourself alone on the patio, the last one standing, try to remember the words of Terrance McKenna, “When you get the message, hang up the phone.

Well ladies and gentleman, if this all felt familiar then you haven't paid the price, to find out what it takes to not go through these things twice.
So I'll dock the ship right here, and head over to the train, because next week we start over and do it all again.
So be as safe as you can be, and as kind as you must, and no matter where you're headed may all your Fridays be filled with music.
Peace Y'all!

Friday 453

FridayMusicGroup



Good morning my friends and welcome back to Friday Music show 453.
You, me and the mothership have the pleasure of several upcoming weeks of guest DJs slicing prime cuts of music for you.
We welcome back today for his third stent at the helm of the musical mothership my friend and yours, Jason Gorton.
Who right now, this very minute I turn the helm over to for him to whack your ears with music.
Jason, it’s all yours bring it back fully gassed and with no dents.

Thank you, Tim! Greetings my friends and fellow music lovers.
I’m very happy that you are joining me this fine Friday as I return for another spin as the designated driver of the Friday Music Mothership.
Today we are going to hear from a truly diverse collection of artists such as Herbie Hancock, The Chesterfield Kings, and Johnny Cash, but I like to start my shows off with a lot of energy, so here’s the Godfather of Soul, Mr.
James Brown.
Hit it!
“You’re So Cool”, the theme from the 1993 True Romance soundtrack by Hans Zimmer.
That was preceded by Tom Waits with “Alice” from the recording of the same name.
Sugar Pie DeSanto sang all about her “Soulful Dress”, and we started the show off with emphatic instructions from James Brown to “Get Up Offa That Thing”.

Let’s dive right back into the tunes, shall we, with The Chesterfield Kings.
Here’s “I Don’t Understand” on another edition of Friday Music Group.

That was C.W. Stoneking warning to us about the dangers of messing around with voodoo and black magic in a song called “The Love Me or Die”.
Louis Jordan sang about his girl “Caledonia” before that.
Ike and Tina Turner laid out the funk with “I Want To Take You Higher”.
And we began that set with The Chesterfield Kings song, “I Don’t Understand”.

This is Jason Gorton, and I am your humble guest host today for this week’s episode of the Friday Music Group.
Let’s get a little exotic with this next tune.
Hailing from Johannesburg, South Africa, here is Miriam Makeba with her 1967 hit, “Pata Pata”.

A cover from the Grammy and Tony award winning opera by George Gershwin, “Porgy and Bess”, that was Doc and Merle Watson performing “Summertime”.
Sandwiched in the middle of that set was Herbie Hancock with a musical tour of “Cantaloupe Island”.
And we started things off with Mama Africa, better known as Miriam Makeba and “Pata Pata”.

Let’s stick with the country vibe for a bit longer.
Here is Johnny Cash getting a little help from Nick Cave on a classic Hank Williams tune.
You are listening to the Friday Music Group.

That was a one-man-band going by the name, The White Buffalo, howling out a song called “The Whistler”.
The Viscounts led us through the seedy back-allies and dive bars of the big city with “Harlem Nocturne”.
The Talking Heads gave us a song about their disappointment with how the end of the world turned out in “(Nothing But) Flowers”.
And we kicked it all off with the Man in Black, Johnny Cash.

Well, that just about does it for me.
As always it has been my great pleasure and honor to be your substitute host for episode #453 of Friday Music.
I’d like to thank my good friends Tim McCormack for letting me back in the captain’s chair once again, and of course, Collin McCormack for his masterful production skills.

We’ve got time for just one more tune before I hand back the keys, so- from his 1972 album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, here’s David Bowie singing “Rock and Roll Suicide”.
Until next time my friends, be safe, be kind, and may all of your Fridays be filled with music.
