CD of the Month
Radio 1190’s CD of the Month for August is Waiting in Vain, the solo debut from Wooden Wand’s singer James Jackson Toth. Coming from Tennessee, Toth was the leader of the Brooklyn group which featured a revolving cast of musicians and a sound that flowed from free jazz to psych to traditional folk. During their run Wooden Wand and its various incarnations released several eclectic albums and even more CD-Rs that were usually made in very limited quantities.
Radio 1190 Wins Westword's "Best Radio Station"
Westword just put out their 25th annual "Best of Denver" awards and gave us our tenth award in a row! Radio 1190 was named "Best Radio Station."
"Back in 1998, before it was subsumed by Clear Channel, Jacor wound up with one more station than it could keep under FCC rules. Instead of holding a fire sale, execs donated it to the University of Colorado at Boulder, which up until then had made do with a school radio station that broadcast to the dorms using carrier current. A decade later, Radio 1190 is a station worthy of celebrating, with a reach that goes far outside of CU and even Boulder. It's an oasis of exciting music, creative programming and community support in a desert of corporate mediocrity. Happy tenth, and may there be many more anniversaries to follow."

Featured Show:
Krewe de Louisianne
The Krewe de Louisianne brings a musical gumbo to the Radio 1190 airwaves and internet connections every Sunday afternoon from 2 – 4 p.m. {MDT}. The Krewe focuses on artists from and tunes about Louisiana – songs that vary in their origins {New Orleans street corners, sugar cane fields, sawmill juke joints, and backwater bayous} as much as they vary in style {Cajun, zydeco, gospel, jazz, funk, swamp pop, brass band, rock n roll, blues, and R&B}.
The show aims to provide healthy portions of both familiar songs and obscure recordings; each helping sprinkled and flavoured with a diverse selection of musical ingredients…..early 20th century jazz compositions {Jelly Roll Morton} can be followed by contemporary zydeco offerings {Geno Delafose & The French Rockin’ Boogie} which in turn might give way to 1950s R&B arrangements {Dave Bartholomew}, brass band second line tunes {Dirty Dozen Brass Band}, and sultry swamp blues {Papa Lighfoot}. On occassion, the Krewe features recorded interviews with local and national touring musicians as well as live in-studio appearances.
The Krewe de Louisianne is always looking for new members to join the party; so be sure to tune in on Sunday afternoons for the ultimate Louisiana music mix tape!
