The Divine Miss M — Bette Midler on Michael Feinstein’s Song Travels

Join KRFY as we celebrate Women’s History Month with one of the true great women of song and fun…

Bette Midler’s Song Travels is a one-hour series distributed by NPR and hosted by the renowned “Ambassador of the Great American Songbook,” Michael Feinstein.

As host and artistic director, Feinstein uncovers the intimate journey singers and songs take with one another, each changing the other through the course of a lifetime. For Feinstein, American music is really a travelogue, with art that exists only because it has traveled through artists’ lives, generations, and passions.

Singer, actress, and comedian Bette Midler is Feinstein’s guest for an hour of pure radio fun. Midler unpacks stories and favorite tunes from her record collection — from Louis Jordan to vintage Hawaiian music to Destiny’s Child. Feinstein presents her with “I’ll Be There,” a song written for Midler by the legendary songwriting team Marilyn and Alan Bergman..

Blue Dimensions: Uppity Blues Woman and the provocative “Money Jungle”

Sunday evening, March 3, join us for the next installment of Treasure Chest here on KRFY 88.5 FM Community Radio.

Blue Dimensions : Uppity Blues Woman Ann Rabson; Terri Lyne Carrington’s provocative “Money Jungle”

In this hour of Blue Dimensions, we’ll hear from Ann Rabson, singer, songwriter, pianist, and guitarist, former member of Saffire The Uppity Blues Women, who died on January 30th at age sixty-seven. Rabson and her partners in the three-woman group Saffire were a novelty act to be sure, though their work has much more staying power (or “gravitas” to use a pretty heavy word describing a group known for its humor) than the term “novelty act” usually suggests. Ann Rabson was both funny and dead serious, and a true social commentator, not to mention a great musician. We’ll hear her with Saffire and as a solo act. Also Terri Lyne Carrington celebrates the 50th anniversary of Duke Ellington’s “Money Jungle” album with an update “Money Jungle: Provocative In Blue,” and we have new music from former Tonight Show band leader and guitarist Kevin Eubanks, and French jazz chanteuse Virginie Teychené.

Blue Dimensions: A program of blues, jazz, and other kindred forms of music.Blue Dimensions is a weekly one-hour program of blues, jazz, and other related styles of music, focusing on present-day artists and songs, though with a certain nod to the past and the great history of the music. Host/Producer Jonny Meister will feature some topic (album, artist, event, etc.) on each show..
