I’m your host Scott Clark and this is episode 81.This time our program is all about the formation, growth and ongoing spirit of Blue Note Records, which was founded in 1939 by German immigrants, Alfred Lyon and Francis Wolff to capture the best in American jazz. We’ll feature excerpts of the Blue Note story from interviews conducted with jazz producer, and leader of the Blue Note revival in the 1980’s Michael Cuscuna, and also current Blue Note President and musician Don Was. We’ll mix all that with a selection of the Hard Bop tunes Blue Note became famous for in 1960’s. Listen for great jazz from John Coltrane, Kenny Dorham, Herbie Hancock, Horace Silver, Lee Morgan and of course more.

PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE PLAYING THE SONIC CAFÉ ON YOUR STATION, WE’D LOVE TO ASSIST IN PROMOTION.

The Sonic Cafe features an intelligent, eclectic mix of music, comedy and pop culture showcasing 30 to 60 years of content within each episode.

The show is set in an imaginary cafe overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Central Oregon Coast. The cafe serves music, comedy and pop culture rather than breakfast, lunch and dinner. All announcer voiceovers are presented over the background noise of a busy cafe with references made to the café environment to create a theatre of the mind experience for listeners.

The program actually does originate from KYAQ radio located on the Oregon coast in the Pacific Northwest, so the imagery is not a huge stretch.

Each program is 58:00 minutes in length leaving room for station ID, promos and PSAs. Each episode is .mp3 encoded at a constant rate of 256kbps and ready for broadcast.

All episodes are evergreen; never focusing on time of year, weather, month, holidays, events etc. so each show is timeless. All music is presented in a no repeat format. Once a song airs in an episode it never airs again. Episodes may be downloaded and grouped together to quickly create program blocks of two, three, four or more hours in length.

Original syndication date was 7/22/2016. At that time 31 shows had already been produced (over six months of content) with new episodes produced weekly. A new episode is released each week. You can confidently add The Sonic Cafe to your schedule knowing that a backlog of shows is already produced awaiting weekly release.
