Dawn Anthony
As a reminder of the wonderful programs that we were blessed to produce for CLTC Radio, we are instituting a new feature on this blog – the interactive playlist. It will include not only a listing of the tracks but also a recording of the program and a couple of video clips of the songs we played that evening.
On the 4/6/17 edition of JAZZ LIVES!!! with CurtJazz, on Charlotte Community Radio, our in-studio guest was my friend, the gifted, Charlotte based jazz vocalist, Dawn Anthony, in a return appearance on the show. As usual, Dawn and I had a great time chatting about her influences and playing some her (and my) favorite tracks.
So, below is a list of the tracks that Dawn and I spun, plus a couple of nice performances of the tunes you heard, by Cassandra Wilson and Cyrille Aimee. And a link to a recording of the entire broadcast.
I hope you enjoy listening even half as much as we enjoyed making the show!
