Edition #005 - A Tribute to My Fellow DJs

Jazz Mixer 005

This edition of The Jazz Mixer podcast pays tribute to St. Louis Jazz DJs. The first song on this podcast is "I Love Jazz", played in memory of Don Wolff. I also pay tribute to the three former WSIE DJs who are still with us; Bob Pelc, yours truly and, through the music of his longtime co-host, Buddy Moreno, Adam Tracy. From my shows, my Friday closing song, "Moonlight Serenade", along with my "Rhythm and News" opening, "Jumpin' at the Woodside", my week-ending "Rhythm and News" close, "For All We Know", and the final song I played on WSIE, "Softly, As I Leave You" are featured. The podcast also pays tribute to Leo Chears, "The Man in the Red Vest", with his opening song, "Desmond Blue" (also the closing song for "Stevenson in the Morning", done as a tribute) and his closing song, "The Quintessence". One of LaVerne Holliday's favorite songs, Najee's rendition of "I Adore Mi Amor", is also included. The podcast wraps up with Ross Gentile's closing song, "The Eyes of Love".

The length of this podcast is 58 minutes, 42 seconds.
