A Taste Of Honey January 17 2013

The outstanding Stevie Wonder (pic.left) gets this weeks programme off to a great start and helps introduce plenty of Cool Tunes For Hot Days including tracks from the King himself(pic.right)to celebrate the 78th anniversary of his birthday.In addition birthday girls Eartha Kitt,Francoise Hardy warm our lives with their interpretations of great songs.It is also Ryuichi Sakamoto’s birthday today and having worked on the marketing for the movie ‘Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence’ with David Bowie,I thought it only fitting to feature the lead track.Throw in some cool jazz from Cassandra Wilson,Jose James and Jef Neve and you have a recipe for listening enjoyment par excellence-I hope you are enjoying your summer and Eastside’s music-drop me a note at stuart@eastsidefm.org and let me know your thoughts or ask for a request to be played in forthcoming weeks….enjoy,Stuart xx
