Play It Again

You Shoulda Been There

Fall 2011 CD #35

How many Shoulda Been There moments were you fortunate enough to have experienced on the 90.7 airwaves over the years? How many incredible Jazz Fest performances have you been able to experience on a day you could not make it out to the Fair Grounds; maybe it was another day when the irrepressible and always spontaneous Dr. John was in the studio? And how many times could you just not tear yourself away from the radio when the inimitable Snooks Eaglin closed out the Fund Drive on Billy Delle’s Wednesday night show?

CD cover for CD #28 - 504 and Then Some

504 and Then Some

Spring 2008 CD #28

We’ve waited a long time to be able to share WWOZ CD #28 with you, and oh, what a CD it is.

There are some blues to start with from perennial Piano Night participant and longtime Howlin’ Wolf sideman, Henry Gray. Bettye LaVette’s up next, and she’s not shy singing about her man. We have also included some wonderful jazz sides from percussionist Bill Summers, bassist Roland Guerin, and pianist Peter Martin.

Dan Dyer kicks out a great version of Dr. John’s masterpiece, “Walk on Guilded Splinters,” and David Torkanowsky and George Porter Jr., take on the Earl King classic, “Big Chief.” We finish up with some fine funk from Joe Krown and go back to our roots with saxophonist and Mardi Gras Indian Chief Donald Harrison’s version of “Shallow Water.” All in all, it was well worth the wait.
