Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).
For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.
| Composer | Performer | Title | Genre | Label | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
The Beatles |
I Wanna Hold Your Hand |
Rock, Classic |
EMI/Capitol, 1963 |
A set of some of the best songs in pop music history. It's hard for me to resist the Beatles, with their beautiful songwriting, vocal harmony and exquisite musicianship. Rock music would not be the creative force it is today without the Beatles doing what they did. | |
It Won't Be Long |

Chick Corea (-w- Miroslav Vitous, bass, Roy Haynes, drums) |

Selections from the brilliant album that immediately preceded Corea's work with Miles Davis, and which established Corea as a major jazz talent. | |

Johann Sebastian Bach |
Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, mezzo-soprano, -w- The Orchestra of Emmanuel Music, Craig Smith, dir. |
Cantata No. 82, "Ich Habe Genug" |
Classical, Baroque era, music for solo voice -w- orchestra |
Nonesuch, 2006 |
A unique cantata, one of only a few that Bach wrote for solo voice without any chorus, and performed very well in this recording, with Ms. Lieberson's voice giving great emphasis and clarity to the text. |
|
Charles Mingus (with big band) |
The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady |
Jazz, post- bop, big band, avant guarde |
Impulse, 1963 |
An extended form work by Mingus that is considered to be among his greatest achievements. Indeed, some of the tonal colors that Mingus achieves is downright astounding, unique in the history of big band recordings. Not to mention the flamenco guitar breaks....... | |
