Vinny Cohan Friday, October 28, 2005 10pm – 2am

Song Title Artist Album

(A long week, and a long day. We started things off in a jazzy mood…)

Samba de la Noche Sir Roland Hannah Double Exposure

Abandoned Masquerade Diana Krall The Girl In The Other Room

No More Madeleine Peyroux Careless Love

Flash Pan Hunter/Intro Tom Waits The Black Rider

Black Crow Cassandra Wilson Blue Light ‘Til Dawn

(…Cassandra Wilson does a nice job with that Joni Mitchell cover on her 1993 release. That short Tom Waits piece sounds like it was made to be the intro.)

Africa John Coltrane Quartet Complete Africa Brass Sessions

Dream Jimmy Scott Dream

(…We heard the legendary voice of Cleveland native Jimmy Scott. His haunting, high pitched singing voice is the result of a rare physical disorder. The NY Times called the 80-year old Scott the “most unjustly ignored American singer of the 20th Century.”) (We kicked off the next set with two more jazzy interpretations of familiar Joni Mitchell tunes…)

Both Sides Now Dianne Reeves Quiet After The Storm

Black Crow Diana Krall The Girl In The Other Room

Hejira Joni Mitchell Hejira

The End Of All Rivers Bruce Cockburn Speechless

(…Bruce Cockburn’s new instrumental collection is cleverly titled and delightful.)

Eleven Seventeen Veronica Martell The Art Of Intimacy

Ghost Of A Chance Joe Lovano Trio Fascination

Alfie John Scofield Trio Enroute

Please Stay Elvis Costello Kojak Variety

(…We heard two Bacharach/David tunes at the end of that set. “Kojak Variety” includes many of Costello’s favorite songs written between 1930 and 1970, including Bacharach’s “Please Stay”. Three years later, in 1998, he teamed up with Bacharach to release the CD “Painted Memories.”) (“Kojak Variety” also includes Costello’s great interpretation of this 1934 Ray Noble hit…)

The Very Thought Of You Elvis Costello Kojak Variety

To Be A Cat Michelle Shocked Got No Strings I’ll Shoot The Moon Tom Waits The Black Rider

I’ve Been Wrong Before Elvis Costello Kojak Variety

Paradise Hotel Eliza Gilkyson Paradise Hotel

Water Into Wine Bruce Cockburn Speechless

Persian Eyes Tony Rivera Gypsy

(…It’s always nice to listen to the fine flamenco guitar of local artist and friend of WDFH, Tony Rivera)

Tomorrow Is A Long Time Nickel Creek Why Should The Fire Die

Buffalo Skinners Tim O’Brien Fiddler’s Green

Pale Moon Shannon McNally Putamayo Presents American Folk

7th Avenue Song Rooster & Ree Urban Hobo

(I’ve resisted the temptation thus far to delve into the Halloween theme, but here is a great song that describes events that happen on Halloween…)

Are You Happy Now Richard Shindell Sparrow’s Point

Think About You Eliza Gilkyson Paradise Hotel

Don’t Look For Me Jeffrey Focault Putamayo Presents American Folk

Owensboro Natalie Merchant Putamayo Presents American Folk

Shine Tracy Bonham Blink The Brightest
