258 The Sky’s the Limit
A great set of tracks put together by Hugh around the subject of the sky. Lots of slower stuff and a wide variety of styles, but all great music and well liked by our audience, which grew to 31 at one point and stayed at 28 for a long while. Very happy with that.
The Michael Feinstein track Skywriting was cut short in the main show, and the full track was added to the postshow. My fault, a bad reformatting of the wma original by Audacity.
The Sky
After our look at the sea a couple of weeks ago, we will turn our eyes upwards this time and enjoy the sky for a change.

130R Chicago part 1
A selection of tracks from the celebrated jazz-rock-pop band Chicago, going up to the eleventh studio album just before the death of Terry Kath. I’m a big fan of early Chicago, no surprise as I’m a jazz fan from way back, and I had a lot of input to this show – the second show is mostly Hugh. 23 listeners peak, a good number, for which we thank you.
Since I talked a lot about the covers, I’ve linked images of them to the album names. The ones we missed out are Chicago at Carnegie Hall, which is number 4 in the sequence (White Tile), and Chicago IX – Chicago’s Greatest Hits (Painted Billboard)

Chicago. The Full Brass.
This week, we will have a look at the early years of Chicago. Not the Southside thereof—we won’t meet Leroy Brown—but the Rock band that has some real brass.

257 Transports of Delight: Planes
Planes and the occasional spaceship featured in this show, which went together really well, and attracted up to 20 listeners, and some nice compliments from the cavern audience.
129R Will Big Bands Ever Come Back?
A great show with some tracks well off of the beaten track, showing that the jazz big band is still alive and well, albeit in a slightly different form. Up to 15 listener connections at maximum.
Will Big Bands Ever Come Back?
This week’s show will have a look at what happened to the Big Band—not why, in particular, it went into a corner to sulk (that was due to Swing going out of style), but whether there are any recent signs of life.

256 Nancy & Lee
Put together for us by Martin Lewis, this was a trip through the years that Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood collaborated both as a duet and with Nancy singing songs written and produced by Hazelwood. A good number in the audience, with a few new names and some returning explorers, up to 26 at one point.
Nancy and Lee
This week, we will look at the collaborative career of Nancy Sinatra and singer/songwriter/producer/manager Lee Hazlewood, who is generally credited with getting Sinatra’s career back on track after she had already been dismissed as a one-hit wonder.
