A Pan-American Suite @ WRUV 90.1 FM Burlington Welcoming Luis Perdomo Trio
This is the playlist of my GLOBAL WARMING radio show I've just presented @ WRUV 90.1 FM Burlington the radio station at The University of Vermont, last Monday June 8th from 5 to 9 am
For streaming visit us at www.wruv.org
The lei motiv was to welcome the performance of pianist Luis Perdomo and his TRIO that night at The Burlington Discover Jazz Fest 2009
After listening to Perdomo's collaborations with Dafnis Prieto, Miguel Zenon and Gregor Huebner, I thought it could be a pleasure to highlight the music and the musicians of his native VENEZUELA inspired by the multiple recordings of Cacao Music Records since 2006
Aquiles Baez, Orlando Poleo, Luz Marina, The Caracas Clarinet Quartet and also Changuito Quintana, Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez and Anat Cohen are in some of this show tracks

With this track I'm leaving the door opened to our next GLOBAL WARMING
radio show at WRUV 90.1 FM Burlington when we'll be riding “On the eve of tomorrow†a composition by Chick Corea, as a refined lei motiv, to document some of those great albums, ensembles and musicians like Eric Marienthal, John Patitucci, Dave Weckl, Russell Ferrante and more, - who contributed to a create a beautiful sound from the 90'ies and whose recordings are still unknown, out of a regular air play, while other less accomplished sounds prompt at every corner like a succes of nowadays. Simply an unsustainable misconception of the mass media and the watery record dealers, searching for easy listeners.
