I came across a video I'd been looking for a while in preparation for last night's show. During New Orleans Brass practice one afternoon, we were trading YouTube videos and Art Falbush showed this incredible performance from Cab Calloway and the wonderful tap dance duo the Nicholas Brothers.

It goes something like this:

How those two fully grown men manage to keep their bright and upbeat composition while they jump down those stairs, I'll never know. They don't make feet like them no more.

P.S., if anyone wants to tell me how to make that video actually appear in my blog post, it'd be much obliged.

It was a weird edition of Your Subterranean Homesick Life, probably one of the weirdest ones I've had since I've started doing the show. It still felt smooth though, which I take as a sign of growing comfortable in my skin as an on-air personality. Hooray!

I love having a dual format show. Maybe next semester I'll stop overloading my schedule and get two shows.

First show of the year!
We lost two great musicians last December, and in an effort to put together my own last minute tribute, I played a large block of music from the great folk guitarist Davy Graham during Your Subterranean Homesick Life and devoted the whole of WONY in Green to the legendary bop trumpet player Freddie Hubbard. It's a damn shame, but the world is a better place because of these phenomenal artists.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and so on. Here's what I played:

Your Subterranean Homesick Life

1. Daedelus, Busdriver, and Pigeon John - Something Bells
2. A R Rahman and M.I.A. - O…Saya
3. Erykah Badu - Soldier
4. Davy Graham - Moanin’
5. Wes Montgomery - Caravan
6. David Byrne and Brian Eno - Life Is Long
7. Davy Graham - Take Five
8. Feist - Inside Out
9. The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist
10. Big Blue BallBurn You Up, Burn You Down
11. Lake Street Dive - As Much As I Do
12. Madness - Nightboat to Cairo
13. Devo - I Can’t Get No Satisfaction
14. Familiar Noise - Get it Started
15. Davy Graham - Lotus Blossom
16. Davy Graham - Anji
17. TV on the Radio - Lover’s Day

WONY in Green

1. Tony Williams and the Super Star Quintet - You Don't Know What Love Is
2. Thermo – Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers
3. Plexus - Freddie Hubbard
4. Greensleeves - John Coltrane (No, Freddie Hubbard was not in this particular rendition of the tune; yes, I felt like a jackass. It was still a great song).
5. Osie Mae - Freddie Hubbard
6. Red Clay - Freddie Hubbard
7. Alone and I - Herbie Hancock
