01/18/12 Episode – B Jazz

It’s the new quarter on Stanford campus, which means that All That Swing has a new schedule – now every Wednesday 1-2pm PST. You can still tune in to 90.1 MHz on your FM dial or kzsulive.stanford.edu on your computer and hear it live.
This week, we have a bit of mish-mosh – mostly vintage tunes from the 20s and the 30s. Nonetheless, there is an underlying theme, albeit a loose one – will you find it?
Other highlights include a sailor’s song, a cowboy’s song and a (chronological) series of female jazz singers who share more than one thing in common..

01/04/12 Episode – Crooners and Popular Singers on Both Sides of the Atlantic

Two guests join us in the studio this week to talk about crooners and popular singers in the 30s, 40s and 50s. One listener calls in to correct me after I said that “Wait ’till the Sun Shines, Nelly” reminds me of the early 40s. Maurice Chevalier sings more silly songs and Frank Sinatra undergoes some serious vocal mutation. It’s all in this week’s episode of All That Swing!
