A Bastille Day Celebration - the 14th of July - and also a celebration of Vince Guaraldi’s birthday!
Music with French origins, influences or titles, plus swinging and samba sounds from the musical mind behind the oeuvre of the Peanuts comic strip transition to television (oeuvre is French, too, no?)
Hear French accented music from Australia’s Nicki Parrott (Under Paris Skies) and Pittsburgh’s Aimee Allen (Les Feuilles Mortes - the Autumn Leaves). C’est Manifique from Ella Fitzgerald and La Vie en Rose from Angelique Kidjo.
Travel down a “Parisian Thoroughfare” with Bud Powell, hear Harry Connick Jr tell you how “I Love Paris.” Django Reinhardt music from Django and Stephane Wrembel and much much more.
Rhythm a Ning - with Kate Borger - Friday morning at 10, Saturday at 11am on WZUM
