I am adding a few new tunes this week:
Barney Kessel
Don Friedman
Art Farmer
I am also adding a number of tunes by Stacey Kent. She’s got one of those “just rushed in from out of the rain and was instantly mesmerized” kind of voices. Very reminiscent of Bloosom Dearie in her sound, but with a slightly deeper timbre, I think.
I will be removed the EM Blog link from the webpages as I find that I am writing a lot more opinionated post and I don’t want my opinions, however educated or uneducated they might be, to sully the purity of the music that plays on the station. But, I do feel a blog should be used to vent, to comment and to opine. So the blog will stay and the link to the station from the blog will stay. But all outside links will soon disappear.
The ruling on whether fees for internet broadcasters has been delayed until next month, so the fate of Evening Melancholy will not be known until then. I would like to continue playing the music I love, but I am in a kind of “wait and see” mode.

In the past if you heard Sarah Vaughan, you knew it was Sarah Vaughan. Billie Holiday, Ella, Anita. You didn’t have to wonder what the name was behind the voice. Well, the same goes for Stacey Kent. Whenever I am listening to the station and one of her tracks begins to play, I know right away who I am listening to. A great talent. I look forward to hearing more and more from her. [...]
