The Backsell: A Unique Listening Experience with Jason Vivone
Advertisement
Blues bandleader and radio host Jason Vivone is back for another edition of The Backsell! For November's Not Quite A Holiday Show, Jason will curate and "spin" a selection of recordings by artists who you hear every season but may not know it.
Segment highlights:
Ladies Who Swing the Band! features Kansas City's own instrumentalist/composer and band leader, Mary Lou Williams.

The GUITAR GRIND spotlight falls on innovative Nashville guitarist Hank Garland's contributions to artists like Elvis, Patsy Cline and a pair of holiday classics.

Sexy, smooth post- WW2 blues star Charles Brown thought if Bing Crosby could be associated with one holiday standard, he could double that.

Ross Bagdasarian's career varied through songwriting and film work but his best known creations would put him in the studio with American blues punks Canned Heat.
Just like in radio broadcasting, Jason will "backsell" each set, providing insightful commentary and anecdotes that illuminate the history, influences, and cultural significance of the music you're hearing. It's a chance to rediscover old favorites, discover new gems, and gain a deeper appreciation for the art of recorded sound.
About Jason Vivone:
