Kaylene Peoples and Sheryl Aronson talk about Covid19 and how it is affecting musicians. Sheryl talks about her forthcoming interviews with several musicians ranging from contemporary jazz to fusion to traditional jazz. They talk about the state music during this pandemic.
for last few years that we’ve been doing Larry Dunn’s Anthology of Earth, Wind & Fire and Earth, Wind & Fire’s music, we’ve got a wonderful orchestra/band and some great singers; and if it’s going to be fun. We do some songs that maybe they haven’t heard in a while. Of course we do the hits. And it’s awesome. We’ve got some of the top musicians and singers and stuff . . . and it’s going to be fun!
On Romantic Bossa-nova: “We open with a Chick Corea tune of all things. It features me on flute, called ‘500 Miles High.’ This song gets the audience going, because it’s still Latin influence, upbeat but still very romantic in its theme. And the traditional ones like ‘Dindi.’ I think that’s the favorite one that people like the most that I do. We do ‘Berimbau.'”
