SG: For me a song has to have a sentimental value or I have to be really inspired Laura Kennedy: You grew up in Seattle. What sort of impact did the city have on and moved by the lyrics. With Blackbird my band and I thought it would be kind of your musical growth? tongue-in-cheek to put both songs together. We put a lot of heart and soul into that arrangement.

GLT HD3 News & Ideas isn't all talk. t" You also hear a little music and some by GLT News Director Willis Kern from WBUR Boston and NPR talk about music with the show All Songs Considered. It debuted after Many of you have already discovered , one of the NPR news and NPR received countless letters from information programs we've added to the schedule every weekday morning listeners who wanted to know more and evening on GLT HD3 News & Ideas. On Point is a two-hour hybrid of talk about the music played between program and news magazine that puts each day's news into context and provides stories on NPR's evening news a lively forum for discussion and debate. Host , born and raised in program, ®. Bloomington, unites distinct and provocative voices with passionate discussion All Songs Considered was born in as he confronts the stories that are at the center of what is important in the 2000 as an online show. world today.

"It was obvious to me that listeners On Point digs past the surface into the core of a subject, exposing each of its real of NPR were also lovers of music," world implications. Each hour of the broadcast opens with a news brief analyzing says host . "But what also became obvious was that the web was going the day's biggest stories, followed by an in-depth conversation decoding a single to be the place to discover new music and that we wanted to be the premier site topic with newsmakers, thinkers, and callers, and closes with compelling personal for music discovery." reactions to news and important issues, including radio diaries, excerpts from All Songs Considered is your guide to discovering new music below the radar.

(S ee pg 21 for the GLT HD3 schedule.) -4- -5- To hear GLT's new digital HD radio signal and accompanying stations (GLT HD2 Blues 24/7 and GLT HD3 News & Ideas), you need an "HD" radio. Fortunately, manufacturers are offering more options and more affordable radios. Here are some that we've played with, and my evaluation of each.

Sony XDR-S3HD Average retail price $159. This unit is a stand-alone tabletop radio with built-in speakers. It offers excellent sound quality and with the included antenna delivers some of the best sensitivity available (meaning it won't be hard to tune in GLT). A remote is included. One flaw is that all presets and clock are cleared when unplugged. This unit is available online through a variety of retailers.

Accurian Table Top HD radio Average retail price $99. Radio Shack is the exclusive retailer for this excellent stand-alone HD radio that includes a remote. The sensitivity of this radio is not as good as the Sony, which might make it a little tougher to hear the station, and it also loses all the presets when unplugged. Overall, though, this is a great radio for the price.

Radiosophy HD100 Digital radio Average retail price $99. Available only online, this radio has the look of a more portable radio than the others. However, it does not have the ability to run on batteries and lacks a remote. Compared to other HD radios the HDlO0 has the feel and sound of a cheap boombox. For a radio under $100, I would recommend the Accurian over the HDlO0.

JVC HD Car radio package Average retail price $140. This HD radio option doesn't require you to throw out your stock car radio. The package includes a mounting kit, that will either plug in to your existing car radio's auxiliary jack or transmit to an available FM frequency, using the built-in transmitter. The install may be a little more advanced, but is way easier than installing a new aftermarket radio. Available online.

-6- -7- We asked our 2009 GLT Jazz Master Sara Gazarek (see cover story on pg 2) to tell us Anita O'Day Anita Sings The Most (Verve) who has had the most influence on her musically, and to recommend a few of her ''Anita is singing and swinging with the O scar Peterson favorites. The CDs on this page, as well as the top 2 on page 9, have meant a lot Trio and sounds amazing. I love her embellishments of to her. the melody, and the arrangements. Anita is at her best on Kurt Elling Live In Chicago (Blue Note) this record. It's one of my favorites." Sara's comments: "Discovering Kurt a few years ago was a treat for me. I'd never heard someone with his sound and control with such incredibly musical arrangements. He helped me set the standard fo r what I wanted to achieve Oscar Peterson With Respect To Nat (Verve) in my music. This album is exciting and beautiful." "This album is a real treat. O scar Peterson singing, and singing so well! He really captures the mood and beauty of Nat King Cole (whom I also love) and his trio. It's a great find." Karrin Allyson Collage (Concord) "Karrin is a raw singer and her improvising and arrangements come from a very real place. This album was the first album I discovered of hers, and I love a lot of it." Here's a great way to get to know our latest GLT Jazz Master. Check out these CDs from Sara Gazarek; they're our favorites and we're pleased to spin them for you on GLT Jazz.

Sara Gazarek Yours (Native Language Records) Nancy Wilson/ C n II Nancy Wilson & Cannonball Adderley On Yours, Sara Gazarek proves she's a shining star right Nancy & Cannonball (Capitol) out of the starting gate. You can hear the smile in her • "Nancy is in her purest form on this record. It gave me voice throughout. Her playful phrasing and graceful chills the first time I heard it. She's so emotive and fun to good humor are a perfect match for the delicious sense of listen to." swing demonstrated by her band. Sara handles the Great American Songbook with aplomb, plus impresses with some originals.

Chet Baker Chet Baker Sings (Pacific Jazz) Sara Gazarek Return to You (Native Language Records) "I love Chet's pure sound. He's not a singer first, and that's Sara is totally engaging on her second release ... straight what I like about him. He doesn't do all the affectations a forward, straight up and straight to your heart. Her lot of other singers feel obligated to do. It's so simple, and performances are dynamic and fresh. She's pleasingly sassy he improvises so well." on Joni Mitchell's Carey and her version of Billy Joel's And So it Goes broke my heart - in a good way. Her approachable delivery is somehow also achingly intimate.
