Jazz Fest 2010, SUNDAY, APRIL 25

The schedule, at least at the beginning of the day.

12:20 p.m. Lionel Ferbos & the Palm Court Jazz Band
1:40 p.m. Theresa Anderssen
Midnite Disturbers
5:40 p.m. The Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong featuring Wycliffe
Gordon, James Andrews and Victor Goines

I start listening at 5 of 12 NY time. The Flash player page says
"World Journey with Suzanne Corley Saturday 4-6pm" is on now... Hazel
is on. Nice to hear her. I met her 10+ years ago...

Darlin Come Back to New Orleans. Nice. Nostalgic.

Flash stream has lots of dropouts so I switch to the iTunes mp3 feed.
Sounds good and louder than Flash stream.

We got to the fest at 12:04 NY time. A dropout.

Missy Bowen on and (More stations listening today!) Lisa Barrios.

Website still has Midnite Disturbers. DJ said Mark Braud's New
Orleans Jazz Giants, Whatever.

Rebroadcasting Campbell Brothers from yesterday. Kinda nice.

iTunes stream is good. No dropouts anymore and no weird noises like on Fri.

DJs are also NOT breaking in after every song. Thank you! Am not
hearing many station IDs either.

Lisa reads the script ("with our ID"). Whoops.

Oh no, she's trying to explain something. Why not say make a CD...

"What's the portal for artists to reach you", which translated into
English is, how do people reach you. Lisa unnecessarily complicates
things whenever she opens her mouth.

A moving Susan Cowsill song. She sang this at the FQF.

Henry Butler - Orleans Inspiration, from 1996 Piano Night.

Lisa has a brain fart...

Lionel Ferbos & the Palm Court Jazz Band
Nice. Some nice tricks up their sleeves.

Guy singing off mic. Not fixed for awhile.... now it is. Thank you, sound crew.

Stream stops, have to restart it. Stops again. Buffering problem...

Having weird stereo problems. Image is becoming stereo and then not,
channels are popping in and out. Might be a stage feed problem.

A very sexy and wonderful enunciation of the Live Wire! What a
pleasure to hear someone who knows how to speak!

Some nice Louis Prima stuff.

Theresa Anderssen on now.

Pharoh's Army!?

Heard distortion. better now. Comptuer crashed for the second time in
10 minutes...

Still have distortion, It's like we're listening to it of the air. Static.

Her voice is too far back in the mix.

Ad/promo.

While I like that she is being experimental, the music isn't very
good although this Blue Skies with the (African/pygmy) vocalizations
is kinda neat.

4pm NY time
Charlie B and Suzanne Corley come on

Mark Braud's New Orleans Jazz Giants

Orange Kellin. Didn't know he was still playing locally. Wasn't her
playing back in the 70s?

We lose the stream, have to restart it.

Over at 4:50 pm NY time

(Levon Helm was on Sunday?)

The Midnite Disturbers will be on? (my head spins) Ah, a brass band.
Mix is getting worked out.

Still having mix problems... instruments low in the mix.

Nice to hear so much brass band music!! Oh, for the good old days.
(Mix is getting sharper, horns better defined. Kinda late isn't it?)

Wow, WOMR is on too.

Suzanne isn't very good about reading scripts...

Sexual Healing - Nice as an instrumental but the singing is too amateur.

1st zydeco I've heard so far. (Haven't heard any cajun. Sigh.) Most
zydeco I've heard (in the past 20 years for the most part) are tired
covers or just plain cheezy.

These promos are pretty jarring...

The Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong featuring Wycliffe Gordon,
James Andrews and Victor Goines

Tin Roof Blues, Clarinet Marmalade, Black and Blue Blues (I sing
along to this!)..., all nice standards for Louis.

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans. Hope I don't cry. Too
late, I am.

Overall: good mixes, not too manu station IDs, some good DJs,some
bad. So much better than some years. Musically some good stuff.

One suggestion: Make your promos less jarring. The bicycling one and
most of the others are really annoying coming out of a tune.

Looking forward to Piano Night.
