Happy Finals Week!

Hello WNJR enthusiasts,

It is currently finals week at good old W&J.  If you happen to see a student, please wish them good luck studying and finishing up the semester, if you see a faculty member, please wish them good luck grading!

The semester is winding down, so most student shows will air for the last time before Winter Break this week.

Please have a lovely Winter Break if you are a member of the college, and no matter who you are, have a wonderful holiday season!

We will hear from you all in 2014!

Jil Aigrot on WNJR

Enjoy the the songs from an album "Words of Love" by french theater actress and singer Jil Aigrot on WNJR 91.7.

Marion Cotillard's OSCAR-winning portrayal of the legendary Edith Piaf in the film "La vie en rose' owes a great deal to the vocal talents of JIL AIGROT. While Cotillard brought Piaf to life with her spot-on performance as  France's grand-dame of song, it is Aigrot's voice that the audience hears. 

This self-produced album "Words of Love" is an homage to the music of France's national diva Edith Piaf.

Program change: The Needle Drop

The internet's busiest music nerd is taking a break from radio for a while.  In this video, an exhausted Anthony Fantano eats raisins and explains that The Needle Drop continues on the web site and youtube.  If a radio show resumes--possibly in September 2013--it will be a talk show.

Nighten-M A L E S

May is Male jazz singer month! I just declared it so.

Time to give the guys their due. Our Hi-Rotation jazz list for May is all Men.

So, Here they are Ladies and Gents!

                                                          'The Testoster-Tones.'

THEO BLECKMAN- His encomparable recording called 'Duet for One.' He seems to be singing in 2 separate voices at times. No tricks, no overdubs...just the human instrument.

TONY DEPAOLIS- Hidden away among the many great instrumentals on his release 'The Contemporary Dynamic'  bassist Tony DP turns in a lovely, tender vocal on this old undiscovered gem. 'East Side of Heaven.' Take that Bing Crosby.

BOBBY MCFERRIN- A masterly 'Round Midnight' from the film of the same name. 

What time is it, Sir?

The other men highly rotating are:

 AL JARREAU     MICHAEL SCHIEFEL   MARK MURPHY    BILLY BRANDT
                               IAN SHAW       KURT ELLING     FRANK SINATRA     TONY BENNETT
      STEVIE WONDER    GIACOMO GATES     RAY CHARLES      TAKE 6
