KLOI- Gary Alexander - Classic Jazz
Apr 15, 2024
3:00am - 6:00pm
KLOI LP - 102.9
Joy Spring w/Gary Alexander
This Week: We open by wishing KLOI-LP fm radio a happy 16th birthday with our original theme song, “Turn Your Radio On”, then state tributes to the men’s and women’s winning NCAA basketball squads (Connecticut and South Carolina) and finally a half-dozen songs on taxes and tax filing for the dreaded April 15 due date. After that, we move deeper in the “E” box of LP records with the Herb Ellis sextet, featuring Ray Brown and other all-stars. The 4:00 hour continues our month-long tribute to two east-coast-born composers who pioneered West Coast jazz in clubs, on TV and in movies, each born 100 years within one day of today. First up is Henry Mancini (born April 16, 1924, in Pennsylvania) with his work in Peter Gunn and his first two Oscar winning film songs, starting with Moon River. The next segment honors Milton “Shorty” Rogers (born April 14, 1924 in Massachusetts), with his big bands and quartets of the mid-1950s. From 5:20 on, we feature a dozen songs inspired by “Radio Deluxe” - first, six songs by female Spring songbirds and then six songs by the guys.
