This weekend on Rhythm-a-ning, Kate Borger plays a wide array of favorites, some close to home, some farther afield
From Louis Jordan and Aretha Franklin to folks with distinct Pittsburgh ties like Eddie Jefferson, Ahmad Jamal and Deanna Witkowski.
Plus some sounds from more distant climes - to Brazil with Tom Jobim and Astrud Gilberto and to France’s Stephane Grapelli (with America’s Yo Yo Ma).
Throw in some James Booker, Slim and Slam, Dinah Washington, Thelonious Monk with Gerry Mulligan, Emmet Cohen and Samara Joy and you have a Kate-Styled tour of some joyful sounds, indeed.
Friday morning at 10, Saturday morning at 11 on WZUM
