Former Press-Enterprise Columnist and longtime KVCR news contributor, Cassie MacDuff joins KVCR to review a few of the Inland Empire’s major news stories of the past week.

David Fleming speaks with jazz vocalist Jonathan Karrant, mainly focusing on his newest release, "Eclectic." Once again we get a few sweet, sweet takes on a couple of standards (but again, not the overly used), as well as pop songs transformed into what should be some of the new jazz standards, and several which really paints Jonathan Karrant as not just a singer with a fantastic sense of arrangement and delivery, but also - a storyteller!

David Fleming speaks with Antonia Bennett about some of her past recordings, with a bit of a focus on "Embrace Me," a collection of standards. QUITE a collection here, filled with wonderful delivery and interpretation which comes from soaking in songs her entire life from The Great American Songbook. Just a BIT of course about her father, the late Tony Bennett as well.

Also - as a child being around greats like Rosemary Clooney, Count Basie and more. WE touched on a few (a couple wonderful originals and one standard) from her upcoming album, which should be out in the early part of 2024, as well as a few NON-standards from her past. Oh yeah. "Love Is a Battlefield."
