MONDAY JULY 24, 2023 – We’re home. What a trip! NW Colorado is as unique and beautiful a place as there is in our state – and most of the rest of the region tbh. Claire had one night, our first after driving nearly five hours, to shoot clear vistas and stars. Rain and/or clouds obscured the night skies the rest of the week. Oh well – next road trip is mid-August to Mesa Verde for the Persied Meteor Shower.

Speaking of Mesa Verde, KSJD, serving the Mancos/Cortez and four corners section of the state, will NOT be airing the Colorado Playlist for the foreseeable future. Please continue to support this locally programmed community station as I wait for a new slot for the show to open up.

I need your feedback. Despite the really nice number of you who visit weekly, the MMMM has been receiving fewer votes. REMINDER – the MMMM was designed to gauge what you think is the BEST of the Colorado Playlist new music every week. A highly favorable “like” sticks around for future plays. A highly disfavorable vote means the song is more likely to disappear from my library.

Share the love – share #coloradomusic.

I NEED YOUR HELP! – It’s getting increasingly more expensive to maintain this show on a weekly basis. As much as I’d like to, I can’t keep spending my savings to produce the show. Please consider supporting. Venmo chrisk-2 or use the donation form below.

June 19, 2023 – We’re halfway through the 2023 release year. So, what’s HOT? What records make my BEST OF SO FAR FOR 2023?

BTTRFLY QUINTET, “Coast,” featuring Grammy-nominated drummer Adam Deitch (Lettuce); Grammy-winning trumpeter Benny Bloom (Lettuce); keyboardist Borahm Lee (Pretty Lights, Break Science); bassist Hunter Roberts (Break Science); and Big Gigantic producer and saxophonist Dominic Lalli.

I grew up in a jazz house in the 60s and played jazz briefly in the Jazz Lab 3 band, while attending Colorado State University in the late 80s. To this day, an end of evening whiskey and jazz are staples of my existence. Best listened to under high quality headphones, for all the nuance displayed by the stellar cast.

One caveat – beware – Drummer Adam Deitch can sometimes be a bit showy and overshadow some of the exceptional solos by Benny Bloom and Dominic Lalli.

The album was released in November, so I’ve had plenty of time to give this one a deep listen, or two …. or …. Favorite track = Good Things Come in 3s.
