' - l<< r r Jc)l it ison, PD WXTU Philadelphia
"The music is today and the lyrics are timeless. This is the soundtrack to life!" Mac Daniels, PD WMZQ Washington, DC

-John Marks, PD I<WNR /KFMS Las Vegas
"Everything music should be. Emotion, Passion and Honesty. It's a musical masterpiece." -Bob McKay, PD WI<IS Miami "Un(blanking)believable! Phil Vassar is in a class

the kind of record that makes me glad I'm back in radio." Tim Murphy, PD 1<1<60 Houston
"Phil Vassar's CD is truly brilliant, innovative music. I
literally listen to it everyday. I love it! And I'm adding it." - ,Eric Logan, OM WQYI< Tampa

Answer. Everyone. Question: Who's coming
to the GAVIN Seminar this year in San Francisco.
Why? Maybe it's because of our exclusive annual Town Hall Meeting. This year we've got the top major market PDs- ust POs -talking about the stuff that's important to you. Music, numbers, corn - petition, marketing, jocks, positioning -all the prob- lems and challenges that can make or break you and your station.
Of course, it could also be our "Just Promotion" session, bringing together the best minds in radio to present new, cutting -edge marketing tactics designed to build cume while annoy- ing the hell out of your competition. Add to that our "Group Heads" forum, Jukebox Juries, research roundtables, format ses- sions, awards presenta- tions-everything you've come to expect from a
GAVIN Seminar -and you've got the best radio lineup kicking off the new millen- nium.
Then there's the music. That's what you really come for, because you know we deliver the best there is. From established legends to emerging artists, there's more music showcased at the GAVIN
Seminar than all the other industry conventions com- bined.
And don't forget the world- renowned GAVIN
Cocktail Party. There are more radio people, more record execs, more great food and drink, and fun and surprises in our Friday night blow -out than you've ever seen for maybe care to remember in the morning).
Finally, of course, there's San Francisco. Nowhere will you find better restau- rants, better food, and bet- ter ambiance than in the City by the Bay. And, for your after -hours pleasure, we're lining up some of the hottest new acts to perform at some of the city's trendiest nightclubs. Count on it!
There's no question about it: the GAVIN Seminar is the best there is.
But then, you already knew that.

thnitnl 111 tht equation
Smooth Jazz isn't usually going
to be #1, thus perhaps a "bigger is better" mentality looks for
another format that might be
more "mass appeal."
Given numbers as shown
here, there should be a
healthy devotion to the
format -either as a unique
stand -alone or as an
unduplicated asset to a sales
cluster (unduplicated
in the sense that there's
usually only one Smooth Jan
outlet per metro).
Perhaps the "power ratio" for
Smooth Jazz isn't as potent as
for other formats -that is, the
format's share of local revenues
doesn't equal or exceed the for-
mat's share of local audience.
It's a tough sell for account
execs, thus leading to the
power -ratio shortfall. However,
properly positioned with qualita-
tive research extolling the value
of Smooth Jazz's cume, AEs
should be able to clean up. It
just takes brains and creativity to sell this format (not to men-
tion programming it) -and maybe that's where the real
shortfall is in today's post -dereg
universe. h \\,Ilt'I. 1111 I11(Nllh I.1 // ltl.l\

A Gig You Can't "Beat" With a Stich Mike Abrams. PD of Cox
Radio's WBHK (98 7 Kiss
FM)- Birmingham transfers to
Atlanta as PD of the compa-
ny's newest major market
Top 40 outlet. WYAP (95 5
The Beat) The last few
weeks have been interesting.
to say the least: Abrams tells
GAViN Both Abrams and
cohort Greg Brady have been
doing The Beat's music since
the station's sign on several
weeks ago
When asked to describe
the station. Abrams says
"The Beat is an upbeat Top
40 with a rhythmic slant This
philosophy goes back to the
days before fragmentation,
where a station would lean a
certain way. depending on the
market Were a Top 40 sta
tion that leans rhythmic
Were not a rhythm station
Comparing The Beat with
adult leaning crosstown Star
94. Atxams notes "We're obvi-
ously targeting a younger arena
than Star Our typical P1 listen-
er will not be a Star P1 listen-
er " (See The Beat and Star 94
go Head 2 Head. at right).
Prior to his three year
tenure at Kiss. Abrams was
program coordinator at Hot
97 -New York and KKFR-
Phoenix. working with Steve
Smith who. strangely enough,
will be consulting The Beat
along with Bill Tanner
"Steve and Bill are the best
consultants out there. and their
skills really complement each
other. - says Abrams Adds GM
Lori Sheridan. We have anoth-
er key addition Katie Reid is
jailing us as sales manager
Fran Country WKKT-FM
Charlotte She's driven, pas
sionate. and has had great
success as sales manager in a
tough country market and has
fearlessly and successfully
gone up against Country giant
WSOC -FMi- she says.
As tar as staff goes, We
have hundreds of tapes and
resumes to sort through...I'm
looking to put together the
best team in the country."
says Abrams who. during the
transition. will divide his week
between Birmingham and
Atlanta
'Kiss is a big moneymak-
er for this company. so I
don't want to screw anything
up here: he laughs. Look for
the WYAP calls to change to
something more Beat- relat-

PHAROAHE MONCH "Simon Says" (Rawkus)
"Few artists can bring instant energy to a beat like
Pharoahe Monche. It reminds me of the first time I heard
Organized Confusion's Bring It On. Makes me wanna
stan my momma1"
-DJ ash, KMTR- Houston
AGENT 106 "Hustla's Anthem" b/w "(Spanish) Harlem
Nights" (Blacklight Ent.)
The a -side has a R&B flava that has that mass -appeal
sound where even a thug can feel it. The b -side got a
RZA -type beat with wolm and sh r all through it."
-D. Originoo, WYBC -New Haven, Conn.
GROUP HOME "The Legacy" (Replay)
-Premier has done it once again! He combines the illest
samples to make one of my favorite tracks of '99. And
Guru plus Group Home flip some super -tight lyrics as
usual. If you sleep on this you're bound to die."

Review MOS DEF "Black on Both Sides"
(Rawkus /Priority)
To hell with all other "most- anticipated"
albums of the year. because this one is
It ladies and gentlemen! This Brooklv
Ite. who is one -third of U T.D.
and one -half of Black Star.
has finally come to drop a
solo protect.
With hype production
from Psycho Les of
Beatnuts fame, Diamond
from DITC, DJ
soul -jazz era. Weldon was sampled by
artists like A Tribe Called Ouest and
Boogie Down Productions. and now he's
here to bless Mos Def's album with his
production skills and musical ability. The
first single is blazing hot right
now and is charting on Rap
and being spun at
Mixshow. -Ms. Fat
Booty" is an excel
lent track produced
by Ayatollah, which
has a neckbrace- needin' beat
with a funky female -sung hook
provided by the over -sampled
Aretha Franklin.
Mos' lyrics (some of them sung!) of
chicken -head lust coming and fading are
comedy. yet there's a message we all
need to be aware of.
"Mathematics." the single's b -side. is a
Premier of Gangstarr. and
notable others, what you get on this
album are those block- rocken' beats that
y all have come to love so much. Notice
the name Weldon Irvine on the album?
That folks. is one of the illest musicians
to come out of the late -'60s- early -'70s
Primo production with a heavy bass line
and a rap-sampled. scratched -in hook,
that leaves Mos ready to handle and crush
all competitors with his smooth, Brooklyn -
born. black -pride-enforced lyrics.
Other tracks to be aware of
are the wonderful spoken
word on "Fear Not of Man."
"Dot Now" featuring Busta
Rhymes. "Hip Hop." the
Brooklyn- Bounce beat of "Got.
the thought - provoking
Illuminati /N.W.O.- fueled "New
World Water." the Black Star reunion
-Know That," and "Mr. Nigga." which fea-
tures the vibrant one himself, 0 -Tip.
If you have yet to get your copy. better
call Rawkus right now

ARTIST PROFILE IDEAL CURRENT SINGLE: Get Done
ALBUM: IDEAL
LABEL: Jirgin
IDEAL .they're young good looking have
a coordinated wardrobe and can tear up
the dance floor.
IDEAL is the latest hunk sensation to hit
record stores and teenage girls' walls
everywhere. but besides all the showbiz
trappings -these guys can sing' Houston's
own J- Dante, Maverick, PZ, and Swab make
up this new R&B quartet that actually
sounds as good as they look.
Influences range from Take 6 to the Isley
Brothers and you can hear the history in
"Get Gone." the first release off their self -
titled debut. It's a smooth cut with a mellow
bass line and a seductive four -part harmony
that warns ladies everywhere to start appre-
ciating the men in their lives. The tables
have turned and its the men of IDEAL ask -
ing. -What have you done for me lately?"
Virgin snagged these twenty- year -olds
and waited two years to get them into the
studio. They're betting that the wait will pay
oft and that this will mark the start of a
beautiful new relationship between the label
and the world of R&B Some of R&B's
heavy - hitters came out to lend their talent to
the album, including Bryan Michael Cox,
Babyface protege Jon John, and song-
writer /producer Teddy Bishop - Theresa Murphy

Strategies for Winning As a chess player, I've
always found it useful
when competing in radio
to use rules from the game
to help take out my oppo-
nent. Chess master Bruce
Pandolfinl, in his book The
ABC's of Chess, has a set
of commandments that I
think relate to radio. Here
are a few of them:
Be aggressive, but play
soundly. Don't take
unnecessary chances.
Answer all threats. Try
to do so by improving
your position and /or pos-
ing a counter threat.
. Play for the initiative. If
you already have it, main-
tain it. If you don't have it,
seize it.
Cut your losses. If you
must lose material, lose
as little as possible.
e If you blunder, don't
give up fighting. After get-
ting the advantage. your
opponent may relax and
let you escape.
Rely on your own pow-
ers and trust your
instincts. If you can't see
the point of your oppo-
nent's move, assume
there isn't any.
s Try to develop with
threats, but don't threaten
pointlessly.
Choose a plan and stay
with it. Change it only if
you should. or must.
uu Ii.ne the most energ and
enthusiasm. It's cnucal fior tot to

to keep things exciting. there's
(cry little time lest over to sit down and come up w ith the next hatch

I suggest you budget at least ill minutes every other day to sit
down with other creative thinkers
to drum up new ideas. More utter than nut. programmers who under-
stand the inll>, onance of budgeting

STATION NEWS 'We're moving on October 25th. and our new studios are being 'wired' as we
speak," says WHFS -Washington APD Bob Waugh. And since the entire moving
operation will not be completed in time, WHFS has to make other on -air plans.
"We'll be broadcasting out of a tour bus for several days, driving around
Washington and Baltimore giving away all that crap that's been in our prize
closet forever," Waugh tells GAVIN 24/7. Their new address after November 1st:
4200 Parliament Place, Suite 300. Lanham, MD 20706.
KNCL -San Jose has a new morning show, the first -ever real live jocks to be
heard on Modern Gold "Channel 104.9." "We've hired Ed Wenck and Dave
O'Brien from WRZX- Indianapolis," says PD Gary Shoenwetter. "Since the San
Francisco Bay Area is such a sophisticated and radio -savvy area, we decided to
hire a couple of rednecks from the Midwest," he laughs. Meanwhile. X -103 PD
Scott Jameson says, "We're looking for the best Alternative communicators in
the biz -put the word out to everyone!"
"We are continuing our search for a quality promotions person." says KWOD-
Sacramento PD Ron Bun( .', who plants his tongue firmly in check before
adding rhetorically. "We're looking for someone who is very bright, works hard,
and doesn't expect to get rich...well, does that disqualify the bright part?"
"I'm the new Buzz morning show, if you hadn't heard," says WTBZ- Burlington PD Stephanie Hindley. "I'm up at 4, here at 5, on 6 -10, and then I come back at
noon to do the 'Buzz Back Lunch,' just because it's my baby."
ARTIST PROFILE Ash LABEL: predin,vor .s
CURRENT SINGLE: 'Jesus Says"
CURRENT ALBUM: Nu -Clear Sounds
Ash Flails from Dowllpatrick. Ireland where
entertainment opportunities for the local youth
are limited to watching grass grow and count-
ing raindrops.
Therefore much of
the social activity
centers around lis
tening and making
music This is
where the heroes
of our story come
to play
In 1988. at the age of 11, Tim Wheeler
and Mark Hamilton decided to become rock
stars We used to mime playing bass and
guitar with tennis rackets. and use boxes for
drums Finally. we begged our parents to
buy us proper instruments Within a week,
we'd written our first song -on one string.
We taught ourselves how to play We wrote
our own songs from the start 'cos we
weren't good enough to do covers -
As their musicianship improved. Hamilton
and Wheeler absorbed the sounds of The
Stooges, The Pixies. and Mudhoney. Then
came Nirvana 'Nirvana was very inspiring to
us.- Wheeler attests. The honesty and
power of the music. and how melodic it
was - In 1994, at 17. Wheeler and Hamilton
signed with Infectious Records 1995 saw
America's introduction to Ash with two of
their songs being featured in the soundtrack
to the movie. Angus. The single.
" Goldfinger,' ascended to the Top five in the
U K. It advanced the release of the band's
first long- player. 1977, on Infectious (in the
U.K ) and Reprise (in the U S.). 1977 sold
32 gavin r k ndtir lrr,
more than 1.5 million copies internationally.
Another single. -Oh Yeah." followed
` Goldtinger- into the Top Five.
Nineteen 'minty-nine brings us Ash's sec-
ond full-length, Nu -Clear Sounds, Which
showcases Charlotte Hatherley's emergence
as a co- songwriter. Wheeler describes the
record produced by Owen Morris (Oasis) and
Chris Kimsey as "Quite noisy in places and
quite uncompromising. Very passionate -
Lyrically. the songs have a greater depth
than some of Wheeler's previous efforts
Many address the feelings of frustration and
burnout that accompany years of touring.
not to mention the excesses Ash have
become known for
'We're not as reckless as we used to be.
but we can still hold our own. - says
Hamilton -Sean Curran

Try something that will gen-
erate talk, emotion, and passion in
the community. Some of it will be
positive, some of it will be negative,
but at least everybody will be talk-

aspect, especially for a rock sta-

much more.

And now for a few kudos... Were owned by Clear Channel, a
company blessed with some of the
greatest programming minds. I'm
very lucky here. Down the hall I have
KGB's Todd Little, who is one of the
really bright, creative guys. I've got
Bryan Shock at 91X. Again, a brilliant programmer. I also have guys like
Jack Evans, who has a terrific track
record and is a great person to have
as a sounding board. Then there's Bill
Pugh, who has a huge background in
rock, which is now part of our clus-
ter. And that's just here in town. We
also have VP of Programming Gene
Romano in Atlanta, and I still can
bounce ideas off the ears of Tim
Dukes. Who knows this situation bet-
ter than he does? And Tom Owens, of
course, has been a major influence
for many, many years. With all of
these incredibly gifted people at my
disposal, who needs a consultant?

THE MUSIC MEETING Scott Winston MO, KVOX -Fargo
Background: I've been on -air at KVOX -FM since 1981. I
became full -time music director in 1983. I was also interim pro-
gram director twice in that time period.
What Is your definition of a music director? A
music director should be passionate about the music they're lis-
tening to and selecting every week, regardless of format. They should also pos-
sess a certain degree of passion for the format to which they belong, as well as
act as a diplomat for the industry as a whole.
How much research Is Involved In your Job? So far we've mostly
done perceptual studies, but with new resources, we hope to get into music test-
ing and other methods of surveying our listeners' attitudes toward our station
very soon.
When should you trust your Instincts more than you trust your consultant, or research? When you listen to a song for the first
time and say to yourself, "Wow, that's a hit," you go with it!
Who, besides yourself, Is Involved In the music decisions? It's primarily me and our consultant. I'm fortunate to be given a lot of autonomy
regarding our music decisions. However, if I'm uncertain about a song I'll drag in
the PD, OM, or some of our locks and get their reaction.
How much of your time do you actually devote to listening to new music? Not as much as I should! I suppose I spend a total of about
two hours a week.
What songs are making a big impact on your station right now? The truly emotionally driven songs are really hitting home right now. In
the post - "Amazed" frenzy, these songs are huge: Brad Paisley "He Didn't Have to
Be," Tracy Byrd "Put Your Hand in Mine," Reba McEntire "What Do You Say," and
Steve Wanner "I'm Already Taken."

RAN D A MAN AIN'T made Of
STON "If I had your voice,
people could just kiss my ass." - DAVID LETTERMAN following Randy's performance of
"A Man Ain't Made Of Stone"
"Here's the truth: Travis still possesses one of country's most incredible voices, and he's one guy who's still keeping the
faith, musically and spiritually. - BRIAN MANSFIELD USA TODAY
"His thrilling baritone, which It aps and slides in Jonesian fashion. still rattles the
walls, and his songs still plumb the depths of spiritual and moral truths. Nowhere is he better than on the title track, a character -shaping realization
of marital meltdown." - ALANNA NASH ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"From the outset it is clear that Travis retains the same rich, smooth voice
that's made him one of the most easily identifiable country figures of the
last 20 years." - TOM ROLAND NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN

"Where I got the Steve Holy record 'Please Don't Make
Me Beg,' I played it for the staff. and everybody liked it!
Then I gave it to our midday guy and he gave it a spin
and got immediate positive response. Our morning host
heard the song on the midday show and asked if he
could play it and he got calls. too. There just might be
something here....We started playing Tim McGraw's 'My Best Friend' as an
album cut and our listeners love it. Right now he can do no wrong ...Jason
Sellers' 'A Matter of Time' is showing up in our Top 10 Most - Requested fea
ture....One cool record is Keith Harling s 'Bring It On ' It's definitely one to
watch....) think one great album cut Is lt,, Suzy Bogguss T. Graham Brown
duet 'Love is Blind' on Suzy's current album
Lance Tidwell, PD, WCOS- Columbia, S.C.
"Without a doubt, our biggest phone record is Alan
Jackson's 'Pop a Top.' Requests were instant and
we've had total positive response Montgomery
Gentry's 'Lonely and Gone ' ,rig for
us.. .Our morning show host Jeff Roper continues to
get a ton of requests for the Chicks >odbye Earl'
and he only spun it once! If LoneStar s new song
'Smile' does not hit #1 in GAVIN, III shave my head!"
Jack Douglas, MD, WPSK- Radford, Va.
Yankee Greys an awesome band! I love the
album -there are so many good things on it! 'All
Things Considered' is getting great phones.
too!... We're getting lots of calls for Gary Allan's 'Smoke Rings in the Dark'! I've been a fan of his
e his early Decca days!...I also like Jason Sellers 'A Matter Of Time'! It's got a great feel!.. I m really happy to see keith urban it's A Love Thing' doing so well!...Of course, I'm expecting 11m
McGraw '.ly Best Friend' to do well after his CMA performance'...Jo Dee
Messina's 'Because You Love Me' blew me away on the
first listen! The vocals are amazing! She is very deserving
of the CMA Horizon Award!...Chely Wright's 'It Was' is a
great follow -up to her YY1 'Sinole White Female'!...I'm real
excited about Tara Lynn Hart She gave an incredible
performance at CRS Gull Coast in Mobile and she's got
some great stuff!...I can't wait to hear more from
Georgia Middleman's project! She also performed in
Mobile and was very impressive!"
E.J. Foxx, MD, WICO- Salisbury, Md.
Tim McGraw's 'Something Like That' is still very hot
with our listeners! We also just added 'My Best Friend'
because the phones have been off the hook requesting
.Faith Hill's 'Breathe' has really taken off!...Ty
Herndon's 'Steam' is generating a lot of calls!... Taking
into 'it the tact that we're out here in farm coun-
t, Kenny Chesney She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy' is getting tremendous
phone action!...It you ask me. Clint Black's 'When I Said I Do' should be the
next song of the year! We're getting so many calls from both men and women
who lust love it!...We Just wrapped up a 'secret sound' contest where we gave
away a New Year's Eve trip to Nashville for the Tim 8 Faith concert!"

phonist Leo
Gandelman has
appeared on and
off the Smooth Jazz scene over the past
decade This time he's re-created a
funky, beat -driven version of Herb
Alpert's 70s Number One pop hit "Rise
The last time we heard a cover of "Rise"
was on the Jazz side when guitarist
Russell Malone added his bop changes
Gandelman's "Rise" evokes a party
atmosphere with some Fender Rhodes
sounding vamps. fat guitar octaves. and
sampled strings that swell in and out of
the groove Gandelman's sexy treatment
gives "rise" to a truly Smooth 70's funk

early soul roots.
Our fans continually tell us
that while they've enjoyed our
music over the years. there's
something special and free spirit

that keeps them excited." says James K
Lloyd Some even say it's the best stuff we
ever recorded On the new album, we decid-
ed to go back to the old school way of
recording-doing the whole album at one
studio and doing it all ourselves "
"The chief difference between then and
now." adds Curtis Harmon, is that we were
kids then -lust playing to have a good time;
less concerned about having a hit record The
goal then was to have fun and hope that peo-
ple r:uui 1 iu;eu di i,l UIiluy it. Ahead to the

for an urban lean to their Smooth Jazz flow.
"'Took so Long' is kind of a wistful tune; a
little bit Grover, a little bit in the style of Bobby
Caldwell but without the vocals." says Lloyd.
"Philly High." featuring British guitarist
Ronny Jordan, is also a flashback to the
band's '80s recording style To us. the
Philly feeling is kind of easy - listening soul
music that's caught between the fast pace
of New York jazz and the more laid -back

KEEPJNG THE PLAYLIST *WI WITH
L'! .QA* nice tracks are the tunes on a
playlist that add character and
freshness to a station's music
flow . even though they may be
initially assigned to a limited rotation.
Spice comes in many different forms:
a golden oldie. a vocal cross -over, an
uncharacteristic song by a core artist. a
local artist that's special to a particular
market ..But mostly it's that song in the
set that takes a stylistic left turn and
Jars the listeners.
"A Smooth Jazz spice track has to
have integrity." says Chris Moreau. pro-
gram director at WJZI -Milwaukee. "It has
to live up to tougher standards than
something by Richard Elliot or Peter
White because it's different and it has to
be an ear -catcher."
Over the past several weeks. Smooth Jazz
radio has seen some particularly unique
tunes pushing the boundaries Tunes like
Santana's "El Farol" and Kenny Garrett's
"Simply Said" are challenging a program-
mers notion of what works for the audi-
Carlos Santana

ence -and what doesn't.
"We were on the Kenny Garrett song
pretty early," recalls WNUA - Chicago
APD /MD Steve Stiles. "I guess it can be
considered
spice because
Garrett comes
'rom a tradi-
' onal Jazz
uackground.
ait the song's
phrasing could
easily be from
one of our core
MR- Seattle PD
Carol Handley
Smooth Jazz artists "
When Warner Bros. (Garrett's label)
decided to service the track to Smooth Jazz
atter it soared to Number One on the GAviN
Jazz chart. they tried
an interesting experi-
ment. Smooth Jazz
producer Paul Brown
re-mixed the tune
and added signature
Smooth Jazz rhyth-
mic sound beds.
replacing Garrett 's
more acoustic
arrangements. But
friendly Seattle.
KWJZ -Seattle PD Carol Handley. who
came over to Smooth Jazz from Triple A
radio, has added "El Farol." "It stays within
the boundaries and is a classic Santana
sound. Another Santana piece we can play
Is the one with Ottmar Llebert. 'Samba
Para Ti.' I hope this new one works well
with the audience."
Moreau, meanwhile, is unconvinced that
"El Farol" can spice up WJZI.
"The Santana song is a bit too Classic
Rock - sounding to me. which pushes the
parameters of the entire mood of the radio
station too far," he observes. "I can hear that
on four other radio stations here. We have
more of an Urban groove to what we do."
Whether a Smooth Jazz station leans
Urban or textural,
Stiles opted for the distinctness of the origi-
nal version.
"We're playing the original version of
'Simply Said' right off the album," he
says. "We love the parts after the solo
when Kenny says 'Oh yeah.' I wouldn't
change that for the world,"
While some PDs and MDs hesitate to
play a record by an artist whose music is
a staple across four or five competing sta-
tions on the dial, other programmers will
add a spice track for that precise reason.
For instance. "El Farol" by Santana has
gotten the Smooth Jazz nod in rock-
$Y ifH
when "Lost In You"
by Chris Gaines was
released. many
Smooth Jazz
slipped the song
into limited spice
rotation only to
watch it blend well
with contemporary
Instrumentals.
"The Chris Gaines record applies [as
spice]" says Stiles "What was unique about
it when it first came out? It was Garth
Brooks' alter -ego. Did it feel like a hit?
There were 40 NC stations adding it the
first week out That was a pretty good indi-
cator. We were early on it and now it's a
great cross -over vocal."
"When I first played Chris Gaines.
almost everybody guessed it was by
Kenny Loggins. which was not necessarily
a direct thumbs -up." Handley recalls.
"I have two sister stations playing Chris
Gaines. so anytime I can get something
ZrMMERMAIV
that blends well in the format and is sup-
ported by those other stations, it can be to
my advantage. The Garth Brooks angle
didn't scare me."
-A perfect example of a spice track that
moved up on my playlist is the Garth
Brooks/Chris Gaines track." reckons
Moreau "We were almost afraid to say
Garth Brooks sang it. but I came around
because when Garth Brooke comes to
Milwaukee. he
sells out the
40.000 -seat
arena five days
in a row. He's
somebody my
listeners have
heard of
before. The
music makes
sense and it's fun to perk their ears up
and make them think. 'Did I just hear that
right ? "'
Ross Block, the legendary Smooth Jazz
PD who programs WSJT in Tampa/St.
Petersburg. does not back -announce the
Gaines records as being Garth Brooks. He
prefers to keep the mystique intact
Ross Block, PO at
WSJT -Tampa
"We still won't say Garth LI name
on the radio." he says. "The people who
are into it already know who it is. so I
don't need to say 'it's Garth: Why draw
attention to it? We dust say it's Chris
Gaines. It's a cross -over vocal to try and
catch new listeners."

Spice can be one song or a three -hour
weekly show that demonstrates to the
audience that the station is on its toes and
not just a jukebox with commercials. Also.
spice songs can even emanate from major
format artists.
You can have a spice track from a
core artist. too: explains Moreau. "For
example, 'Summertime' by Kenny G is a
special and unique song. We've heard
that standard done so many different
ways -from Tim Weisberg (which we
played heavily) to Anita Baker (which we
play sparingly late at night). It's an "oh-
yeah" song and I play the whole six
minutes worth."
--From the major artist side of spice."
Handley recalls. "we dug into a third track
off Lee Ritenour's record, a song called
Can You Feel It ' At the time I had a lot of

and textural. Our
music director,
Dianna Rose.
thought it sounded
good on the air, and
the audience liked it very much."
"The Clapton tune, 'Blue Eyes Blue.'
broadens the base a little bit and still fits
into the sound of the radio station."
offers WSJT's Block. "One past spice
track was 'Do Nothing 'Til You Hear from
Me.' by Ouincy Jones and Phil Collins on
O's Jook Joint. While it was on, it was a
real conversation piece. It brought people
together from different generations.
Older jazz fans knew the song and
younger WSJT listeners recognized Phil
Collins' voce."
WNUA's Stiles recalls a time last win-
ter when an A &R staffer brought him a
work -in-progress and pitched it as
unique for spice.
"Kombo came out of left field." Steve
remembers. "Bud Harner from GRP played
a rough mix for me and I was knocked out
by if It has the retro sound and its beefy
Hammond organ sound is different for us
as a lead instrument. Initially, after you get
over the 'oh wow' uniqueness. there's a
real solid melody in there. Just before it
came out, it was one of the highest -test-
ing songs for a tune that had never been
on the air."
-
Generally, Smooth Jazz programmers carry
one or two spice tales. and never more
than three. Most programmers "know"
them when they hear them. usually when
they're not looking for something unusual
or fresh to play.
"I carry one or two spice tracks if
they're around. but I don't force it," says
Block. "I'm not out there looking for things
to play just because they're different. I'm
always looking for great songs. Sometimes
the great ones are not quite squarely
down the middle like Boney James or Rick
Braun. It took me a while to hear 'Brooklyn
Heights' by Down To The Bone because
the hook wasn't the melody. it was the
rhythm and the beat. which is different for
our format."
"We're not specifically mining for
spice." Stiles adds. "We're looking for hit
songs. instrumental hits or vocal stuff that
crosses over from Urban NC or
Adult/Contemporary. But we need some-
thing unique and different within the con-
text of Smooth Jazz. but that fits within our
elements of melody, rhythm and tempo."
"I may have a time when KWJZ is really
heavy on saxophones and I'm looking for
a guitar track because I need some tex-
ture or something different," KWJZ's
Handley says. "I might have to actively
seek something I can add as spice. Other
times it seems like there's a bunch of tex-
tural things and I'm looking for the glue
that is Smooth Jazz."
Unlike other pop formats, the typical
Smooth Jazz spice oldie evolves from
year to year
"I consider Ramsey Lewis's hit 'The In
Crowd.' and Hugh Masekela's 'Grazing In
the Grass." to be spice tracks." says
Block. "The attraction is they were hit

I remember
when
1Neves of

by Herbie Hancock was released. I dust
didn't hear it. Same thing with Joe
Sample's 'Hippies on the Corner.' I eventu-
ally called other PDs and added those
records. In fact. we still play those songs "
-With Chicago being a Jazz town, we
play 'Grazin' In the Grass.- says Stiles.
""'Moments in Love' by Art of Noise and
Booker T. Jones' 'The Cool Dude' are two
other spice oldies."

If a song has a local angle, then that could
be the toe -hold for it to move up in rota -
tion to full -time status. Such Is the case
for Ramsey Lewis s latest recording.
"Close Your Eyes and Remember: his first
Jazz trio recording in over a decade.
"Ramsey Lewis is an interesting title,"
stresses Moreau. "because he's from
Chicago (which is close by) and he signed
to Narada. which is a Milwaukee record
label. Our core Smooth Jazz audience is
very familiar with Narada Productions and
there's a brand loyalty We daypart it dur-
ing evenings and weekends to mellow
5P `E AIK
things out. but that's a great example of a
spice track for our particular market
because it has local ties. It makes a lot of
sense to keep things at home."
Ramsey's latest is an obvious natural
for WNUA. where Lewis does an airshift.
"Having your morning man being the fea-
tured soloist doesn't hurt.° says Stiles.
"From a local angle. guitarist Richard
Smith is originally from the Northwest
and has a presence in Seattle," Handley
notes "I always take extra time
to listen through because he
has a local following. 'Flow'
has a little more edge than
Norman Brown. but it worked
well for us on the West Coast."
Some of it is deeper tracks of artiste
and CDs we're already featuring.
Sometimes it's an artist or CD we will
never play in regular rotation. like
Me'Shell Ndegeocello. Another example
is the soundtrack to the film, Midnight in
the Garden of Good and Evil. which has
some nice mainstream Jazz tunes. but is
very melodic. We do artist interviews
and wrap them around three or four
tracks from a CD we'll highlight. It
comes on at eight o'clock and is hosted
by Dianna Rose. We follow the show
with Ramsey Lewis's 'Legends of Jazz.'
We tie those two shows together, which
spices things up."
Along with her regular weekday
airshift, Handley also programs another
special weekend show: "I host Jazz
Cafe for three hours. It's all- instrumen-
tal which sets
the mood for
Sunday morning.
It's highly textur-
al. laid -back
Smooth Jazz and
acoustic instru-
mentals. We go
back and play all
the old. lovely Pat Metheny tunes and
dig deeper into the Marcos Ariel or
Craig Chaquico albums. We crossed
over 'Lost In Space' by Paul Hardcastle
on that show."
At WJZI, Moreau recently hired a leg-
endary Milwaukee jazz deeiay to host a
Another localized spice experience to
please the valuable P1 listener is done
through special programming.
"I have a show on Sunday evening
called Traditions and Trends." Handley
told GAM. "It's two hours of new music .
straight. traditional Jazz program weekends
at midnight.
That's a spice show. "Ron Cuzner has
been a local legend in this market for 35
years." observes Moreau. "He was on the
classical station for 20 years with a show
called The Dark
Side. His deliv-
ery is spooky,
he's the
Wolfman Jack
of Jazz. He
plays every-
thing from
Base to
Coltrane. In
fact. Clint Eastwood. a friend of his.
bought Ron's Jazz vinyl collection. Clint left

Chris Moreau. PD /MD at
WJZI- Milwaukee
J Z;'tF As long as Smooth Jazz stays in the hunt
for mass appeal ratings success. spice will
be the main ingredient to experiment and
keep its loyal listeners off balance. Spice
need not be future slam -dunk hits: they
can also be flash -in- the -pan novelties.
"These songs may not find a perma-
nent home in our library." explains Block.
"But when they're new they do spice up
the station. That's a good thing. We get
criticized for being a background format,
and certainly songs like that bring you
right into the foreground. Some of them
work. some don't, but ultimately they
serve their purpose."

Lori Carson Stars
(Restless)
Lori Carson, in
all practical like-
lihood the only
vocalist to
record with both
the Golden Palominos and Bill Laswell s
Material protects, has also sung lead on a
few dub recordings. Her latest solo
release is a quiet and intimate affair.
Treasure" is the lovely. dreamy single.
The longer I do this. the more intimate it
all seems to get," she says "I guess my
voice likes to whisper and crack better
i
than It likes to wail. and more and more I
lust want to do what feels exactly right "
Kerry Walker Lipsbury Pinfold (Ubiquity)
It you re lucky enough to find this record,
you'll be pleasantly surprised. Maybe it's
because Walker bears artistic resem-
blance to Tom Waits and PJ Harvey. Its in
the way she scrib-
bles guitar,
instead of strum-
ming it. over a
string section on
-The Trouble
With Mary."
Somehow capturing the verve and rd...
energy of new folkles like Ani DiFranco.
yet with an entirely individual voice
Dot Allison Afterglow (Arista)
Once the voice of
One Dove, Allison
set out on a solo
career in 19%
Spiraling through
whirled -up electronic beats, Dot turns
heartache into psychedelic bliss. Thick
beds of electronic samples lay the sound-
track to her vocal mantra on "Message
Personnel " She coos this is heaven now

euiews III Colour Me. sounding like an angel with

seen a trip hop act bridge the chasm
between underground and commercial play
Martin Sexton "Candy"
(Atlantic)
This cut from
The American is
a stark and
compelling
story about a
funky near Hollywood. Remixed for
radio. Sexton's songwriting is a welcome
and much - needed voice. With each inflec-
tion. he conjures images both wonderful
and horrifying.
Buddy Miller Cruel Moon
(Hightone)
Deemed one of
Americana's most
valuable players by Emmylou Harris and
Steve Earle. Miller has become a honky -tonk
soul man The mournful title track features
Miss Emmylou on guest vocals. "Does My
Ring Burn Your Finger" is a swaggering
lament that sounds as if it were recorded at
the local watering hole "Somewhere Trouble
Don't Go- pounds a swampy Gene Krupa
beat to fiddles, banjoes and the like. With
wife Julie. Buddy has recorded a fine coun-
trified roots album. Harmonically. too. they fit
together like two peas in a pod
Little Milton Welcome To Little Milton
(Malaco)
Little Milton's reputation precedes him. His
contributions to rock and blues are historic
He's recorded with Ike Turner. He's been
on Chess. Sun. and Stax. He's still a force
to be reckoned with This time out, he's got
a gaggle of guests tearing it up with him
including Gov't Mule's Warren Haynes, who
opens and closes the album with rip- roarin'
guitar work Milton
duets with Susan
Tedeschi on
"Mother Earth,"
which also fea-
tures an interest-
ing prelude read by
New Orleans Iddiu nusupoetmuslwluyist
John Sinclair. All in all, we've got a core
album for the long haul.
Luna The Days Of Our Nights
(Jericho)
Subtle and
endearing words
are and then
you blew my
mind." heard in the
opening cut from Luna's fifth album. "Dear
Diary" begins soft but soon becomes a
churning swirl of guitars. Frontman Dean
Wareham's nasally voice is reminiscent of
Lou Reed's droll slurs, and sounds perfect
on a toned down "Sweet Child O' Mine."

MUSIC NOTES When Asleep at the Wheel hit #1 on the GAVIN Americana Chart, the post- modern king of Western swing, Ray Benson said, "Not only is it so cool after all these years to finally have a Number One record, but to be on a chart with so many great artists is amaz- ing. You look at the other people on
this chart, and it makes you feel like your music is in good company." Mark O'Connor adds to his revered body of work with an entry from Sony Classical. On Fanfare for the Volunteer, he performs as violin soloist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in three acts. Luscious listening. Steve Earle played the legendary Algonquin Hotel in New York recent- ly, in support of an Atlantic Monthly Americana sampler CD being shipped to their readership. The
evening was filmed for a documen- tary about Steve by George Nierenberg from Soul Pictures.

Volume 2 of the FolkScene Collection is more Americana and more
commercial than our folkier first effort. The Vince Gill. Nance Griffith,
Lucinda Williams. Chris Hillman. and Jim Lauderdale tracks were all
recorded on the air over the past 25 years Our engineer. Peter
Cutler, makes everyone sound great. The hardest part is deciding
what will be on the disc. We try to reflect how eclectic FolkScene is The show will be cele-
brating our 30th anniversary in February 2000." -Roz Larman, KPFK -Los Angeles

ARTIST PROFILE
eview Buddy Miller Cruel Moon (HighTone)
Buddy Miller is a secret weapon. His
producing. writing, play n ' ^n
make him an
asset in any cir-
cumstance. On
Cruel Moon,
Buddy's voice is
haunted by the
ghosts of coun-
try past. Contributions from Emmy
Harris, Joy Lynn White, Jim
Lauderdale. and wife Julie Miller
abound. "Does My Ring Burn Your
Finger" swaggers. And there are cov-
ers from Gene Pitney and the Staple
Singers and collaborations with Steve
Earle. Paul Kennerley. and Jim
Lauderdale. This stuff is "the kind.`
-Jessie Scott
Jim Lauderdale PROJECTS: Oinua Through It All (RCA)
,' I ,ko Singing Today w/ Ralph Stanley
(Rebel
Jim Lauderdale is the guy in the proverbial
white hat.
'I'm so happy this format exists. I want to
be able to do my part.- he says. Lauderdale
has plied his songwriting craft for over a
decade, signing his first recording contract
with Pete Anderson in 1987 Jim takes a
philosophic view. You almost put your eggs
in the company's basket when you get a
record deal People leave too much for the
labels to do and blame too much on them
after that I'm in a rare situation at RCA
because they aren't pushing me to main-
stream Country radio. so they don't have
the usual promotion expenses. -
Jim s reverential collaboration with Ralph
Stanley. I Feel Like Singing Today. is a more
recent entry to the chart
its kind of unusual that both of these
records came out so close to each
other." says Jim. "What other format
could I do that at?-
One might add that they are two totally
different records Onward has a progres-
sive leaning. I Feel Like Singing Today with
Ralph is a focused Clinch Mountain
sound -a charming and stately effort.
in the Americana community, there's a
mutual love of music and there is so much
respect. It's incredible to be able to tell
someone 'this song moved me to tears: or
that their music shaped my music.
