Swing Is In The Air
Sunday March 23rd, 2014 with Karen Oxorn
The Music of Emilie-Claire Barlow

Skip to Tracks
This is Karen Oxorn inviting you to listen On Demand to the program today which featured recordings by one of my favourite singers Emilie-Claire Barlow. The set list features cuts from her earliest CDs, such as Sings (1998) and Tribute (2001) right up to her latest recording from 2012, the lush Juno Award winning album Seule Ce Soir. I spoke with Emilie-Claire the day before her wonderful sold-out concert at the National Arts Centre last night and we listened to excerpts from that conversation. As an added bonus, I played a portion of my interview with Montreal-based pianist/vocalist Nathalie Renault in advance of her concert at Brasseurs du Temps in Gatineau on Sunday March 30th and featured a track from one of her CDs. The draw for a pair of tickets to that performance was won by Joelle Boivin. Note to Listeners: Our show continued for another half hour today and we played the additional material listed below but the On Demand recording ends with Track 14 which is Chez Moi. KLO

What a great show Karen. I didn't know the music of Emilie-Claire Barlow so you provided a great intro. Loved your radio voice too. I look forward to hearing more of you on the radio!
