FM Rewind

I remember FM radio as a commercial free bastion of GREAT and very diverse music spread out all over the many frequencies. Not today. When something new comes into my musical life it is usually discovered on the internet or the rare radio program like Jonathan Schwartz on Sirius and Jazz FM broadcast out of Toronto. My mission on this blog is to post music I love that you may not hear elsewhere.Someone - I don't know who - recently stated "Music is what emotions sound like" Exactly!

I Want To Dance With Somebody & The Best Things Happen When You're Dancing

Here are 2 very different songs about dancing. One a yearning - the other a happy promise AND the singers are as different as their songs. Matt Alber sings Whitney Houston's early anthem as a plea - a gentle wish. This is such an original approach to the song that it sounds like a new tune. I prefer it to Whitney. Kurt Elling promises a happy time in his song and once you hear it there will be no doubt that he will deliver. It is a retro rendering that can only delight. And you may even want to dance.
