Kate Borger shares plays music with a word in common - “Rhythm!”
Louis Armstrong with “That Rhythm Man,” Tony Bennett and Diana Krall declare “I’ve Got Rhythm.” Songs where the rhythm is a Lullaby, Rockin’, Fascinating or Fantastic from artists like Bill Charlap, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Louis Prima, Slim Gaillard, plus Pittsburgh originals the Boilermaker Jazz Band and Glenn Crytzer.
And, of course, Kate brings a rendition of Rhythm-a-Ning from Thelonious Monk - aided by Gerry Mulligan - into the mix.
We’ve all got Rhythm with Kate Borger - Friday morning at 10, Saturday morning at 11, on WZUM.
