We're presenting Grammy-winning saxophonist David Sanchez and his quartet at the Village Vanguard tonight at 9pm.
Be sure to join us - on the air, online, or on the intertube.
I talked to Sanchez yesterday, just as he was arriving to his hotel room.

Listen to the interview:

Then I grabbed his iPod and set it to Shuffle. Hear the mix:

Bill Daugherty is the creator and star of the off-Broadway revue "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" It's all songs of the 1930's, songs that tell the story of America's first Depression. It's playing weekends at the Triad cabaret theatre on West 72nd. We also talked about other shows he's done, and I've included songs. Listen to the interview:

Set list:

"Humpty Dumpty Heart" from show When The Lights Go On Again

Bill singing "I'm All Smiles" from album Look to the Rainbow

Bill singing "Sit Down, You're Rocking The Boat" from show Broadway Unplugged 4

Nancy Anderson singing "True Blue Lou" from album Ten Cents a Dance

Bill singing "Look to the Rainbow" from album Look to the Rainbow
