This is show #176 of the Series "Blues For Modern Times", (formerly called Blues For Modern Man). This show is produced to be broadcast as either a weekly Series, or it can be easily be used as a stand-alone episode. The focus of this Series is to support today's Modern Blues music and working Blues Artists, and it highlights the great variety of music that they record. My shows use mainly just received new, and artists latest Blues releases in each show, though I occasionally blend in other modern Blues music. Today’s Blues are a diverse and exciting genre, as todays Blues Artists play in various styles of Blues. This allows me to create a true Blues variety show that should appeal to most any curious music lover. These programs DO NOT have to be ran in order-however-the higher the show number, the newer the music in the program. These shows ARE NOT dated at all, so that this Series can begin to be run at any point or show number, at your Stations discretion.
This show is designed for the music lover, with a great variety of music. It's also for the Blues lover, to check out the latest from some of their favorite artists, and to discover new Blues artists and their recordings. And this show is a good intro to the Blues for new Blues listeners, to help them discover the diversity in today’s modern Blues music. I produce this show solely to be a part of a NPR/Community Station's regular weekly 1 hour show lineup. This show focus is on the music, and I inform listeners of the songs I've played, what album it's from, and an occasional tidbit or two on the Artist or the tune. I post my playlists and more on my Facebook Page for the Show, Blues For Modern Times. Since the show is aired regularly on several stations, I produce and upload NEW SHOWS EVERY WEEK. My hope is to grow both the number of stations and listeners of this program, thereby fulfilling my mission to support working Artists, and share today’s Blues music with as many listeners as possible...Upon request, I also can produce 25 second spots for each show if desired by your station, leaving :05 to announce show day and time.

The Cleftones
This week, Matt The Cat looks at one of the greatest Doo Wop groups, The Cleftones, through an archival interview with the late Herbie Cox. Cox was a founding member of this unique sounding vocal group from Queens, NY. Started in 1955, The Cleftones enjoyed two national top 10 R&B records with "Little Girl Of Mine" in 1956 and "Heart & Soul" in 1961 and were one of the few vocal groups to score hits in two decades. Matt The Cat was fortunate enough to have interviewed Herb Cox and this week he shares that wonderful interview, packed with Herbie's remembrances of the early days of The Cleftones from the first records to the first package tours. This sprawling interview is littered with The Cleftones' greatest sides jumpin' out of the ol' Rockola on this week's "Juke In The Back."

This is the three-hundred-eighty-seventh episode in a thematic series focused on jazz, blues, and spoken word.
While the big band was king during the swing era of the 1930s and early 1940s, in the realm of jazz, the big band never completely disappeared. While touring ensembles are rare given the economics involved, scoring and musical development never came to a close. In fact, studio recordings show that the big band is alive and well, and arguably a bit hipper than ever. In this hour, we will explore some large ensembles from the past few decades and dig their big and bold sound.

From Candice Agree | Part of the The Spanish Hour with Candice Agree series | 58:30
Highly regarded as one of the great conductors of the 20th century, Ataúlfo Argenta is not as well known as Monteux, Beecham, Koussevitzky, and other mid-twentieth century conductors. This week, we hear Argenta conduct L’Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in the concert version of Manuel de Falla’s El amor brujo (Love the Magician) and Francisco Escudero’s Concierto vasco para piano y orquesta (Basque Concerto for Piano and Orchestra) featuring pianist Martín Imaz.
