JP Marat

When WCRS returns to the FM radio early in 2017, I'll launch a new program on Sunday morning entitled "Classic Marat," offering the very finest in Alternative Classic, Chorale, Opera and Jazz music. This week please enjoy "Requiem Da Camera" by Gerald Finzi. This hidden masterpiece, begun in 1924 and only finished in 1990, is his lamentation for those brave men and women, of all nations, who fell during the "Great War" (1914-1918). With social conflict all around us (Iraq, Syria, etc), this requiem (musical composition in remembrance of the dead) is as pertinent today as it was then. The opening track is JS Bach's, "The Little Fugue in G Minor."

MGMT (Electric Feel) and The Cars. Psychedelic Alt Pop meets 80’s Next Wave and the result is GLORIOUS.

Tonight we play one of the worlds finest Jazz albums. Specifically we offer "Porgy and Bess", a collaboration between Miles Davis and Gil Evans from 1959 released by Columbia Records.

Moby Lives. Check out tracks from "These Systems are Failing" and "Last Night." Moby. Yeah.

They say this album helped to launch the "ambient" music crazy in the 1990's. Hmmm . . .

This evening we offer a full hour of Bob Dylan in honor of his 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature. Stockholm . . . you got this one . . . right !

JP Marat interviews Joe Demare, Ohio Green Party Candidate for US Senate . . . Set list includes REM, Joe Demare (Green Party Candidate for US Senate from Ohio), Blondie, George Harrison, Howard Jones, Bruce Springsteen and Fannie Lou Hammer.

Yes. I love Jazz. And I'm devoted to Nina Simone. Her best album ever ? Many say YES it is Pastel Blues.

PJ Harvey reexamines the destruction of public housing. "Hope 6" or "No Hope At All?"

Each band plays two songs. Why not ?
