Jolene - Matt White, Ndlovu Youth Choir, Congo Cowboys, Cowboy Carter, Dolly Parton

Image
  Listen to this week's show      Dolly Parton 's " Jolene " begins the show this week. First up is trumpeter-arranger Matt White 's version, from his 2026 release, Matt White's Dolly (Adhyâropa Records). Next are some "world mixtures" of the tune, renditions from the South African Ndlovu Youth Choir , Congo Cowboys , Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter , and Parton' s original. These serve as a reintroduction to White's most unusual disk, and we devote the rest of the show to more from that...    Read our review of Matt White's Dolly  on All About Jazz.    Click the image to expand the playlist Caminhos do Jazz with Katchie airs live on Saturday mornings at 10 Central.   KRTU 91.7 FM in San Antonio, worldwide at KRTU.org. ...follow us on  Facebook ,  Instagram , and  All About Jazz .

The hour begins with two exhilarating pieces from Gafieira Rio Miami's Beleza Pura (Brazilianaire Music Marketing & DBB Production, 2025).

Jackson Plays Dylan & Dylan Plays Dylan

Image
    Listen to this week's show      We're spinning Javon Jackson 's extraordinary mainly-instrumental album Jackson Plays Dylan on this week's program. As a bonus, we're inserting some original Bob Dylan tracks, to underline the lyric. No need for it when you have Lisa Fischer 's jawdropping "Gotta Serve Somebody" and Nicole Zuraitis ' "Forever Young" (or "Blowin' in the Wind"), but salutary with regard to tunes like "Hurricane" and "Tombstone Blues"...
