2018 Corridor Jazz Guest DJs – Linn-Mar
Sam Kelly and Nathan Wylie from the Linn Mar Colton Center Jazz Ensemble choose some personal favorites during their guest DJ show. Sam brought in a vintage UI Johnson County Landmark CD that features not only his cousin, 10 of Soul founder and North Scott band director Mike McMann, when he was a student, but also Linn-Mar director Aaron Nuss!
Nathan loves it when the lead trumpet goes high, so no big surprise that he gravitated to the Maynard Ferguson section of the KCCK library. Plus Oliver Nelson, Duke Ellington, and many more.

KCCK’s Featured CD for May 2018
KCCK’s Featured CD for May is “You’re Driving Me Crazy” from Van Morrison and Joey DeFrancesco. A new milestone in Morrison’s ever-expanding catalog of essential recordings, the disc finds the iconic Irish singer-songwriter exploring a variety of jazz and blues standards and classics alongside fresh interpretations of his own compositions. He’s aided in this endeavor by DeFrancesco, who was responsible for bringing the classic Hammond organ sound back to the world of jazz in the late 1980s. “You’re Driving Me Crazy” is from Exile Legacy Records. Purchase the CD.
