Well, how about tuning into Riverwalk Jazz from The Landing in San Antonio?
The show will be broadcast on public radio stations nationwide (check local listings) as well as Sirius/XM satellite radio and can be streamed from riverwalkjazz.org beginning today.
We've got vocalist Topsy Chapman, a New Orleans native known for her role in the long- running off-Broadway hit revue “One Mo' Time," who is now in demand as a featured soloist at jazz festivals around the world. Topsy joins us to sing three tunes associated with Billie Holiday —"He's Funny That Way," “What a Little Moonlight Can Do," and the uplifting “When You're Smiling."
Stephanie Nakasian first came to international attention in the mid-1980s when she sang and toured with the vocal jazz master Jon Hendricks. Currently teaching jazz voice at The University of Virginia and The College of William and Mary, Stef was recently featured on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross. On our show, she interprets the lovely 1947 ballad by Frank Loesser, “What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?"
Other musicians featured on the show are New Orleans cornetist Connie Jones, Bay Area cornetist Leon Oakley, trombonist Dan Barrett and Jack Mahue, who led the Salt City Six.
