CD Debut of Daniel Hersog Jazz Orchestra on Jazz Northwest, June 7 on 88.5 KNKX
A rich collection of original compositions and arrangements by Daniel Hersog has just been issued on a new CD “Night Devoid of Stars” to be issued this week. Recorded in Vancouver BC, the orchestra includes some outstanding talent from Western Canada and a pair of pieces from the album will be featured this Sunday, June 7 on Jazz Northwest at 2 PM on 88.5 KNKX.
Also on this week’s show are recent releases by Kate Olson’s KO Ensemble at The Royal Room, Jenny Davis with Jovino Santos Neto, and a classic Floyd Standifer performance at the New Orleans Creole Restaurant in 1996, and more.
Jazz Northwest airs Sundays at 2 PM Pacific on 88.5, KNKX and streams at knkx.org. The show is produced by host Jim Wilke. After broadcast the show may be streamed on demand at jazznw.org where playlists are also available. Listeners may also subscribe to the podcast at KNKX, NPR, Apple, or Google.
The Hersog album is a real delight with great work from trumpeter Brad Turner, pianist Frank Carlberg drummer Michael Sarin, and guest soloist Noah Preminger (tenor sax). Intelligent compositions, spoarkling arrangements, and great section work – the music has greatly brightened my quarantine weeks!
Be well and stay healthy Doug!
