Playlist for May 07, 2009 from 4:00PM - 7:00PM
Current New Orleans Time: Wed, 3:44pm
Playlist Date & Time: 5/7/2009 4:00PM - 7:00PM
Program: Jazz from the French Market with Jelly Roll Justice or Suzanne Corley
This is my last daytime show for several months and thus I drew on many of the tunes that I fell in love with during the last year. Most are new, some rekindled the passion I once felt for them, but all are fantastic jazz pieces.
A word of apology: before playing the Charlie Christian "Swing to Bop", I stated that he was with Dizzy Gillespie and Cannonball Adderley at Minton's Playhouse in May, 1941.
Dizzy Gillespie for sure was there, but what I meant to say was not Cannonball Adderly --- but Thelonious Monk played as well. I realized that I was stuck in gear when I got off the phone with a listener who questioned me on Adderley while I kept thinking Monk. Very sorry.

My two favorite "street" musicians. This is a misnomer: they play at many venues and with other headliners --- but they are "world famous in New Orleans" for playing in front of the Cafe du Monde.
