The Shirley Horn track marks the end of our re-broadcast of a 2012 edition of Swing Is In The Air, hosted by the late, great Jacques. The show was 90 minutes in those days, so here are 4 more tracks to make a 2-hour program. The first two were Jacques' selection, but cut off in the tape of the original broadcast. The latter two are the fault of Bruce Walton.
Darn That Dream
George Shearing - Legacy Lives On
S'Wonderful / Can't Take That Away From U
Anita O'Day - Legacy Lives On
All Too Soon

Comments from the other playlist: Rob Dunbar: Hi there, I was listening to the show yesterday (Aug 21st) and at approx the 6:47 pm part of the show I heard a tune I really enjoyed. It was Out Of This World by Creed Taylor. The version you played sounded more upbeat than the ones that pop up in my searches. Can you help identify the version you played for me please? - 12:05 PM, August 22nd, 2022 Bruce Walton (host) Hi Rob - I think you may be posting to the wrong program. Sunday's Swing Is in The Air did not include that tune, or if it did, Jacques omitted it from the original playlist. Sorry. - 1:30 PM, August 23rd, 2022 hide

Thank you on-demand. I grabbed Ron Sweetman's last on-air appearance a few years back but most of them had already disappeared when I thought of it.
