I went to their website, and while I was able to get live jazz (I'm a middle of the road fan, Kenny's jazz is lite, as is Jobim, and many popular (Krall, Schurr, et. al), but I don't enjoy cacaphonous, abstract jazz..........but I couldn't find in their archives Kenny's appearance, maybe it'll take a while...
By the way, classical music and jazz do honor to their genre; when you listen to a jazz or classical station, after hearing a cut, or an opus, you get details......when it was recorded, who conducted, or in jazz, they name all the players, what album, etc.....you hear abit of that in isolated college stations in the NY area, WFUV, listener sponsored radio out of Fordham U, and a friend of Kenny's is my 'hero' in folk/folk rock/rock/etc music, Pete Fornatale...his show is Mixed Bag, and he'll go from Kenny to the Dead to the Buckinghams and weave a theme ........look for it live and on archive at www.wfuv.org and if you are a fan of jazz, world music, they have wonderful shows there, especially Celtic/Irish.....
I have no affiliation with the station other than member, tho I'm active in World Hunger Year (WHY), started by Harry Chapin and Bill Ayres, still run by Bill, and Pete Fornatale is active as well....Pete is a mover and shaker in music and social issues, and a historian regarding the music I love, that period from the early 60's, even late 50's, until disco seemed to take over...Thank goodness Kenny has played around with different parts of his roots and brought his own artistic perspective to songs from Jobim to Beatles, to Gershwin to Stephen Stills......hasn't stayed in one place, but, he has not gone off the deepend and used programmed percussion and syntesizers that wipe out real musicians (to be fair, the guy playing synthesizer does have to have talent, but I want a real string section, a real sax, a real drum....)
