Tupelo Public Radio Project: Dar Williams
In the Time of Gods is the ninth studio album from beloved singer-songwriter and long-time Razor & Tie mainstay Dar Williams. As Dar explains it, “I’m interested in power right now,” she says. “I’m in my 40s, and I’m shocked that the cafe conversations I had in my 20s ‘Somebody has to do something!’ are now my responsibility. I see people who are actually doing things that you always dreamed somebody would do, and I can help make that a reality. So the stakes are higher, in a good way, but you also see the shadow, the reckless behavior, where a person can lose it all in a weekend.”

Dear Diz (Every Day I Think of You)
Favorite Sessions:Arturo Sandoval — The Music in His Heart
Arturo Sandoval releases his second album on Concord Jazz, Dear Diz (Every Day I Think of You). The album is Sandoval’s tribute to Dizzy Gillespie, the mentor and friend who rescued him and his family from an oppressive existence and gave them a chance at a better life. The album is a collection of classics from Gillespie’s massive body of work, each framed in big-band arrangements that throw the spotlight squarely on the elements of bebop that underscore so much of the iconic trumpeter’s work and set the tone for the music of his era.
