One of the things I’m happy to be known for in DC is creating selected CD-length playlists of tracks from recent releases. The purpose of these is to highlight new artists, sources of new material for singers, and give tastes of recent theatrical releases. And I try to give these some structure, so that they’re a cohesive listening experience. (Okay, I’m putting together a kind of virtual cabaret act.)
Here’s the latest, covering things appearing this spring through mid-summer:
