Tonight's Tonic Mix

2008-08-20 22:34:20 by Li Robbins in Radio 2 Blog

Big Weeds Katie is featuring music from Latin jazz group Zapato Negro tonight on Tonic (6 p.m.), along with tunes from Michael Bublé, Nu Braz (think "nu bossa") and Quebec vocalist Myreille Bédard.

Plus, she has a live set from saxophonist Cory Weeds, recorded at the The Cellar in Vancouver. Here's the backstory on that:

Cellar Live is the Vancouver-based record label created in 2001 by musician/producer/jazz club owner Cory Weeds. When he bought the club in 2000 he also decided to record some of the great music that was played at the club. Eight years and around fifty recordings later -- it's quite an archive. And of course one of the benefits of running the show is getting his own music heard too.

Maybe that should be another tip for the Times list (see last post). How to get your music heard? Why, just buy your own club and start your own label.
