MONDAY JUNE 26, 2023 – I just finished my final weekend as a regular show host on 105.5 The Colorado Sound, as we get set to move off the Front Range after 45 years. The Colorado Playlist will continue in its usual times – 6AM on Saturday and 6PM on Sunday. Claire and I are looking to our move to the western slope in the coming weeks.

HOW THE CP GOT ITS NAME: January 2016, the principles at KJAC (Greeley) approached me about selling the name of my show, The Colorado Sound. While I was wracking my brain for a new name, my adopted step-daughter said, “Daddy, we call those playlists now.” ‘Nuff said kid. The Colorado Playlist was born in January 2016. I started working for the Colorado Sound in February 2016. It’s been a great seven and a half years.

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.
