Remember Daniel Ho from Kilauea?
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of the funs of life is "Where Are They Now?" So remember the 90's Contemporary Jazz Band Kilauea? Led by Keyboardist Daniel Ho who also wrote ALL their music? Pretty hot in this genre from about 1991 to 1996. Well, part of the band morphed into David Benoit's band and Daniel Ho himself? He began writing and producing Hawaiian Music. He'd grown up on the Big Island. This week Daniel joins us on the JazzTrax Showcase, and in hand, 5 Grammy's. 5 straight Grammy's. All for Best Hawaiian Album of the Year. 2006, 2007,2008, 2009, 2010. So we're all off for the Islands on JazzTrax this week.

1988 David Benoit 'Every Step of the Way'
|
|
|
|
|
|
And speaking of David Benoit, he and Daniel are old tennis buddies and David's got our JazzTrax Archives Album.Remembering back to one of the 80's Absolute Finest. 1988's 'Every Step of the Way' which included the fabulous song 'The Key to You,'on which David's old college buddy, David Pack (of Ambrosia Fame) was the vocalist.You can listen right now to the full 5 hours. Hear a song you like, move the show backwards (or forwards) and listen to the song again. The full 5 hours will play straight through .you can even copy the show to your mp3 player or iPod and take jazztrax with you!
What's the best thing about the JazzTrax Radio Showcase? Some say all the early listens to all that's new, to albums that haven't even been released yet. Already recent listens from the new Steve Cole that's not coming' till August and the new Steve Oliver and new Jaared that will be released at the end of March. |

Piano music for inside and out with David Lanz
|
|
|
|
|
|
Winter is a great time for a "piano" album. Storms outside. Maybe some storms goin' on "inside." Still planning for the still fresh new year while trying to forget a whole lot from the past year. When along comes David Lanz. No longer Seattle pianist, because he and wife moved further North, just below the Canadian border, to Bellingham, near to the fast approaching Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The pianist who gave us "Cristofori's Dream" two decades ago, plus "Behind the Waterfall", long heard beneath all JazzTrax Festival radio commericials, will be this weekend's JazzTrax Guest to Debut his new 'Liverpool'. A piano re-imaging of the music of the Beatles. However, subtle enough, the Beatles aspect doesn't necessarily jump out at you. The son of Sir Lawrence Olivier guests as a quick voice. The keyboardist from acres of historic pop hit songs,Larry Knechtel, including Simon & Garfunkle's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" gives one of his final session performances before unexpectedly passing away last year. David Lanz will also share stories of living in Vancouver in the early 70's and being the keyboardist on Terry Jacks long ago memory hit "Seasons in the Sun."

2006 Bob James 'Urban Flamingo'
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like I said, a great time of year for a piano album. So we go piano with our Archives Album Spotlight too. Bob James had a release in 2006 that was vastly underrated except by JazzTrax. It was our No. 2 Album of the Year and included our No. 2 Song of the Year. We called it the puppy adoption song, "Choose Me"! Plus a guest appearance by Earl Klugh and fellow Fourplay'er Nathan East forsome great scat. 'Urban Flamingo' is this weekend's JazzTrax Archives Album and it's gotta make you want to really turn it up. Bob James is one of the truly best melody composers of our time. |

Happy New Year and welcome to Twenty-Ten. Our first JazzTrax Guest of the New Year was one of our 2009 Debut Artist finds. Towson, Maryland Guitarist Drew Davidsen. We only just learned of him in June. Had him in the JazzTrax Studio in July to debut "Around Again" and on the Island in Live Performance in October. But this weekend we're going back to his Desert Storm Days in the U.S. Navy. He tells stories this weekend of being turned on to George Benson by a helicopter pilot off Kuwait and to Acoustic Alchemy by a Colonel. And how his military service in that early 90's war turned him towards a career with his Guitar. Fascinating stories this weekend mixing war and Smooth Jazz, but then, that's what our show is all about. Fascinating stories from the stars of Smooth Jazz. Wait till you hear Peter White's later in January...
