This week on Treasure Chest — Jazzy Holiday Fare

Greetings from KRFY – This week on “Treasure Chest” we will continue our holiday theme for the month of December. Join us while we enjoy a JAZZY slice of holiday tunes.

The New Jazz Archive is a weekly series exploring jazz’s place in the story of America.

The New Jazz Archive is a weekly series exploring jazz’s place in the story of America. Each hour-long episode is a collection of stories, interviews, and music that relates the past, present and future of jazz to the things that shape our daily lives—from movies, television and pop culture, to important social issues, to the economy, technology, and even other forms of music.

This week on the show, it’s A Very Merry Jazz Christmas with an hour of some of the best holiday jazz. We’ll talk with jazz historian Bill Sears about some of the off-the-beaten path jazz takes on your favorite holiday classics, and chat with our producer Lou Blouin about the Christmas duet that brought jazz icon Bing Crosby and rocker David Bowie together. That plus a conversation with pianist Eugene Marlow about his recent jazz reworking of some classic Hanukkah music, and tunes from Duke Ellington, Hammond B3 pioneer Jimmy Smith, Vince Guaraldi, and the Squirrel Nut Zippers, are all coming up this week..

Treasure Chest Sunday Evening, November 18 — Stuck in the Psychedelic Era

This Sunday get Stuck in the Psychedelic Era with the Hermit’s weekly two hour radio show featuring music from the years 1964-70 (roughly).

With an ever-shifting balance of familiar favorites, forgotten hits and obscure B sides and album tracks (and an occasional jazz or R&B track thrown in to spice up the mix), Stuck in the Psychedelic Era is literally a throwback to the days of “underground” radio. There are no pre-recorded jingles or promotional spots; just two hours of music, punctuated by occasional commentary by the Hermit, whose own radio career began on a small closed-circuit station in the early 70s.

Much of the music is taken directly from vintage vinyl, scratches and all. The rest comes from Compact Disc compilations and re-issues of original albums, all taken from the Hermit’s personal collection.

Commentary is centered on the music itself: artist histories, contextual information, anecdotes, personal memories and occasional forays into how the music of the psychedelic era relates to today’s world

Just about every week we have at least one set that starts in a particular year and moves forward one year (per track) at a time. This time around EVERY set is a progression through the years. Some of them are fairly long, like our opening set that takes us from 1965-69, while others are standard three song sets.
