Musical Odyssey - November 30, 2008

The playlist is here.

Today I featured the music of Stella Haskil (pictured here). I was sad to learn that she only lived to be 36 years old.

I also played some music by the New York Rock & Roll Ensemble from the album Reflections (music by Manos Hadjidakis). We had not heard anything from them from a while. I remember when I began hosting the show and I tried to buy the CD (we have the LP in the WPRB collection) it was very difficult to find. But now there are plenty of them available online.

Sorry, no videos this week, I had to leave right after the show and the rest of the day was very busy. Hopefully I can post something during the week or next week.

The playlist is here. I am glad I got the playlist program to agree with me this week.

Today I featured the music of Motivo 4 (pictured here) . I only played a couple of their songs since I do not have many of their CDs. But they are a talented group and I will try to obtain more of their material in the future.

I will try to post some videos shortly.
