I normally chop off what songs don’t make the broadcast, but for this instance, the songs that didn’t make the airwaves are Elliott Smith tracks and I figure I’ll keep them on the chance anyone is interested.

KLKT Stand In — Two-Five-One — 11.5.24
Show notes:
On this election night, I sat in for DJ Russet Burbank and decided to turn the two hours before Rick’s Canteen into a “Best Of” Rick’s Canteen’s classic jazz hour.
There were some technical difficulties that I had to work through so the broadcast recording has a few shaky moments that did eventually get worked out. And with Quincy Jones’s recent passing, I made an effort to play tracks that he helped shape.
The two-hour program consisted mainly of the usual suspects: Quincy Jones productions, Sinatra & Count Basie, Ramsey Lewis Trio, Don Shirley Trio, Keely Smith, Nat King Cole, Miles Davis, Nina Simone, Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Bryant, Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin, Billie Holiday, Wynton Marsalis, Louis Prima, and more.

Episode 22 – 11.5.24
Show notes:
Having filled in for DJ Russet Burbank for the previous two hours on this election night, I slightly changed gears and made this particular episode have a “politically/socially conscious” theme.
The jazz hour consisted mainly of the usual suspects: Mingus, Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Wynton Marsalis, Mose Allison, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, and more.
The soul and funk blocks included tracks by The Temptations, Gil Scott-Heron, The J.B.’s, Curtis Mayfield, War, and more.
The final WASP Block included tracks by Blaze Foley, Randy Newman, Ani Difranco, Tom Waits, Hurray for the Riff Raff, and Big Bill Broonzy.

*I normally chop off the tracks that don’t make the airwaves, but I figured I’d leave in the few that didn’t make it.
Episode 23 – 11.12.24
Show notes:
Because this week is KLKT’s first ever Membership Drive, this episode has far more chatter than normal. Even still, the jazz hour consisted mainly of the usual suspects: Miles Davis, Duke, Monk, Dinah Washington, Count Basie, Sinatra, Ramsey Lewis Trio, Sinatra, Bix Beiderbecke, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, and more.
We turned the 9 o’clock hour for this Membership Drive week into a Doo Wop and Vocal Group hour and included tracks by The Toppers, The Five Satins, The Crystals, The Ink Spots, The Butterflys, The Moonglows, The Jive Bombers, The Ad Libs, The Cleftones, The Ronettes, The Flamingos, and more.
