Light and Breezy (131)
This time on the program, we’re keeping things Light and Breezy. Of course, the Atomic Age was known for big and brassy, swinging numbers that made folks go ring-a-ding-ding. But there was this other side of hi-fi music. Songs with a lighter touch. We’re not talking about sleepy mood music or something that faded into the background. No, this is about solid numbers that were written and performed with a mellower vibe in mind. We’ll hear from Barney Kessel, Blossom Dearie, Bobby Hackett, and many more.
