3rd Streaming

This week's 3rd Streaming features a birthday remembrance for Kurt Weill, who was born March 2,1900.   Weill was a German (later American ) composer who earned a Tony Award for Best original Score and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.  Lady Day will sing Kurt's most well-known song "Speak Low."  I'll also drop in a string orchestra arrangement of Chick Corea's "No Mystery."  The piece first came out on an album of Chick's in 1975 that was a Grammy winner.  The arrangement is by a conductor who leads the Bulgarian State Symphony on the recording.

From Brubeck to Barber, jazz to classical, and a generous helping of film music classics too - that's the mix for this week's 3rd Streaming with Gary Chew. The list starts off with Cole Porter, Howard Brubeck, David Diamond, Jean Sibelius. The latter part of the 2nd hour has been programmed this week especially  for film lovers.  Three significant composers of music for cinema are included:  Alexandre Desplat, Max Steiner & a man you might not know well by name only:  Herman Hupfeld.  But you DO know of a song he wrote for one of Hollywood's truly classic pictures.

Today's show salutes Chick Corea who recently passed Feb. 9, 2021. Kicking off the show with Spain: Chick Corea piano; John Patitucci bass; Dave Weckl drums. Then Corea's Septet, and later, Temple of Isfahan.  A couple of tastes of Diana Krall are also included in this first 3rd Streaming broadcast live from the KDRT studio in 2021. New live show time is Wednesdays 1 -3 PM, with replays Saturdays 7-9 PM and Tuesdays 9 - 11 PM.

Time for vintage Valentine music this week on KDRT's 3rd Streaming.  Rachmaninoff, as heard in the "Birdman" movie from a few years back, kicks off the first hour. Then in hour two, music by Gabriel Faure, Igor Stravinsky, Jeff Beal and Jacques Brel.

This week's Third Streaming is an encore presentation of an episode first broadcast August 22, 2017.  Some of the music for this week includes works by William Schuman, Aaron Copland, Aram Khachaturian and film composers Elmer Bernstein and George Dunning.
