Podcasts about crooners

Croon•er (n) ['kru:nər]: a singer, particularly a male one, who sings sentimental songs in a soft, low voice. Decades before Elvis, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, or Uncle Gregg captured the hearts, imaginations, and undergarments of a swooning audience, crooners ruled the earth. The term typically conjures up golden throated singers like Bing Crosby, Nat "King" Cole, Tony Bennett, and Mel Torme interpreting the timeless songs of Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin. But one crooner reigned supreme: Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. He was "The Voice," possessing an instrument of rare, pure, crystalline perfection, with a phrasing, tone, and ability to charge every word with such emotion that you can palpably sense his audience getting weak in the knees. Never has Sinatra's legendary 1940s performing career sounded as immaculately and pristinely alive as it does on the SING label's recent archival projects: At the Hollywood Bowl 1943-48; Christmas on the Air; and the 5-LP box set Long Ago, Far Away, all lovingly restored and mastered by an award winning team and featuring exquisitely detailed liner notes by no greater authority than record producer, historian, archivist, author of the acclaimed Sessions with Sinatra, and host of the weekly radio show Sinatra Standard Time, Chuck Granata. We are fortunate to have Chuck join us this week to chat about all things Sinatra: the innovative new sets, his important role in pop music's breakthrough, his classic and most underrated albums, and the use of AI for good. And, of course, because O3L is focused on classic alternative music, our lists cover some of our favorite singers who carried on crooning into the '70s, '80s & '90s. Learn more about your ad choices.

Brandon Commodore (drummer, composer) joins Jazz88's host, Patty Peterson, to talk about the release of his debut EP of original music called "This Is 40". Starting in the music business at 19, he now reflects on how at this age, the music comes from a deeper place and he hears it in his composing.

Dans cette nouvelle chronique, Jean-Baptiste Tuzet met à l'honneur un artiste britannique d'exception qui fait la fierté de notre programmation : Anthony Strong. Né à Londres en 1984, ce brillant pianiste, chanteur et arrangeur s'inscrit dans la digne lignée d'un Harry Connick Jr. À l'occasion de la sortie de son nouvel album intitulé "And Then We Kiss", il nous offre une véritable masterclass d'élégance, sublimée par des arrangements somptueux et l'ajout d'un orchestre à cordes. Fervent défenseur d'une musique vivante, organique et 100% humaine face aux créations synthétiques de l'intelligence artificielle, Anthony Strong réinvente aussi bien les standards du "Great American Songbook" que les grands succès pop d'Elvis Presley ou de Tom Jones. Une œuvre raffinée qui incarne parfaitement l'ADN de Crooner Radio : la quintessence absolue de la musique populaire internationale.La Minute Crooner Attitude, le billet d'humeur de Jean-Baptiste Tuzet, tous les jours de la semaine, 9 h 15 et 19 h 15 sur Crooner Radio.

Dans cette nouvelle chronique, Jean-Baptiste Tuzet nous invite à découvrir le parcours hors du commun d'Eduard Shyfrin. Ancien grand industriel de la métallurgie et docteur en sciences physiques, cet homme a décidé de changer radicalement de vie à la suite d'une rencontre spirituelle marquante en 1996 avec le grand rabbin d'Ukraine. Aujourd'hui, il se consacre entièrement à l'écriture et à la musique avec son groupe, Shyfrin Alliance. Dans son nouveau livre anglophone intitulé The Relativity of Death, il propose une réflexion intellectuelle fascinante mêlant les textes fondateurs de la Kabbale à la théorie de l'information et à la physique quantique. Mais Eduard Shyfrin est également un crooner étonnant, interprétant des chansons aux accents blues et jazz qui portent un véritable message de paix et de fraternité mondiale. Une parenthèse philosophique et musicale qui prouve que l'esprit Crooner transcende toutes les frontières, à écouter pour s'évader avec élégance.La Minute Crooner Attitude, le billet d'humeur de Jean-Baptiste Tuzet, tous les jours de la semaine, 9 h 15 et 19 h 15 sur Crooner Radio.

Dans cette nouvelle chronique, Jean-Baptiste Tuzet invite les Parisiens et les touristes de passage à découvrir une œuvre pour le moins surprenante ! Le célèbre artiste JR, connu pour ses collages géants à travers le monde, a décidé de métamorphoser le Pont Neuf, en plein cœur de Paris. Son idée ? Transformer ce monument historique en une immense caverne de 120 mètres de long grâce à un trompe-l'œil photographique évoquant une chaîne de montagnes. Une installation monumentale qui rappelle l'emballage historique du pont par Christo et Jeanne-Claude dans les années 80, et qui suscitera sans doute de nombreux débats. Mais la question que l'on se pose sur Crooner Radio est : cette balade insolite est-elle "Crooner" ? La réponse se trouve peut-être dans l'accompagnement musical inédit imaginé par Thomas Bangalter, l'ex-membre de Daft Punk, ou tout simplement dans la réaction de la personne qui vous accompagnera pour admirer cette curiosité avant un bon dîner !La Minute Crooner Attitude, le billet d'humeur de Jean-Baptiste Tuzet, tous les jours de la semaine, 9 h 15 et 19 h 15 sur Crooner Radio.

Le troisième ange nous a quittés. Après Dian Fossey, assassinée en 1985, et Jane Goodall disparue fin 2025, la primatologue Birutė Galdikas s'est éteinte le 24 mars 2026 à Los Angeles, à 79 ans, dans un silence médiatique assourdissant.Cette primatologue lituano-canadienne était la 3e et plus jeune des célèbres "trimates" avec Dian Fossey (gorilles) et Jane Goodall déjà citées (chimpanzés). "Trimate" est un jeu de mot anglais qui fait rimer "mate" (copine), avec "primate".C'était l'une des meilleures spécialistes des orangs-outans.

Send a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansSinatra's swagger meets a mic‑drop freestyle and the result is pure delight. We sit down with Adelaide's own Hugh Sheridan to trace the spark that began on a kitchen‑table “stage” at age five and follow it all the way to a sharpened, joy‑driven career across theater, TV, and a beloved live act: the California Crooners Club. Hugh opens up about growing up in a creative family of seven children, a jazz‑playing dad, and the tough‑love push that turned dance from weakness into strength—proof that triple‑threat isn't a label, it's a work ethic.Then we dig into the California Crooners Club itself: the Rat Pack look, tight harmonies, and bold arrangements that splice classics with modern edge. The signature twist arrives when Gabe steps forward to rap over standards, a move that wakes up nostalgia and makes new fans out of skeptics. With the show returning to the Adelaide Fringe, Hugh teases a fresh setlist full of old‑school gems, a Supremes tribute (sshhhhh), and a few timely surprises, all built to make the room light up. Along the way, we touch the tender stuff—releasing jazz recordings with his late father, crafting a Christmas album rooted in Adelaide, and writing a holiday track that's joyful and honest.Hugh also shares the real calculus behind career choices, from a left‑field run on The Masked Singer to the screen roles that many still cherish, including Pack to the Rafters and the INXS mini‑series. What ties it all together is a simple aim: entertain well, tell the truth in song, and send people home feeling better than they arrived. If you love live music, swing, Motown, clever mashups, or just a good origin story, this one's for you.If you enjoy the show, follow the podcast, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what classic would you love to hear remixed at the next California Crooners Club night?What has Hugh Sheridan and The California Crooners Club been up to lately?  Let's find out!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit: ThatRadioChick.com.au

A tyrant schemes, two women defy—and the future shifts. Our story begins in a tense, oppressive Egypt, where fear is weaponized into policy, and cruelty becomes law. Amid this darkness, the narrative turns to Shifra and Puah—midwives who reject the king's decree to kill, choosing instead to nurture life. Rashi identifies them as Yocheved and Miriam, yet the Torah preserves their action-based names: the Swaddler and the Crooner. This naming choice offers profound insight: true greatness often unfolds quietly, through care, patience, and acts of courage in the smallest, most private spaces.From this intimate moment, we pull back to explore a deeper question: why would the Torah immortalize names tied to seemingly humble tasks? The answer invites us to reconsider the very nature of scale—nothing is inherently small or large; it is intention that grants significance. Take money as an example. It has the power to distort character, but when earned with integrity, shared generously, and used to stabilize lives, it becomes a tool for devotion and purpose. Instead of dismissing money as “dirty,” we can reframe the conversation around integrity, alignment, and responsible stewardship.Next, we turn to the sanctity of the home. Intimacy, too, can be reduced to spectacle or elevated into covenant. Our tradition envisions parents as partners with God—an idea that transforms daily acts of love into sacred work. Through respect, timing, and mutual care, desire becomes a vessel for meaning rather than an escape into self. Rambam provides a guide: align life's rhythms—food, sleep, music, work, and rest—with clarity and wisdom. This isn't about shrinking life to a checklist but enlarging every action with purpose. Swaddling a child, signing a contract, or even taking out the trash can become steps toward a life that is coherent, ethical, and fully awake.Shifra and Puah's quiet defiance offers us a timeless blueprint for courage: elevate the ordinary, protect the vulnerable, and weave purpose into every moment. If their story resonates with you, follow the show, share it with someone who carries quiet responsibilities, and leave a review to help others discover these conversations.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!

Could this be peak Frank? Sinatra at the Sands captures the energy, the cool, and the incredible voice that made this crooner so iconic. Backed by the Count Basie Orchestra with arrangements by a young Quincy Jones, this live album still swings 60 years later!Sinatra at the Sands was recorded at a moment when Sinatra was emerging from a slump. Rock and roll dominated the airwaves, the Beatles were redefining popular music and crooning just wasn't cool anymore. But this album, recorded live in Vegas, shows a 50-year-old Frank sounding loose, confident, and completely at home in front of a band that swings like nothing else. Listen with us as we break down and react to the best of this swingin' album.Start your free Open Studio trial for ALLLLL your jazz lesson needs: https://osjazz.link/yhi   00:00 - Intro Jam: Fly Me To the Moon01:35 - The Sinatra-Basie Episode!03:45 - Is This Peak Frank?05:45 - The Mid-60s Culture Shift07:45 - "Come Fly With Me" 12:00 - The Quincy Influence14:45 - "I've Got You Under My Skin"17:30 - What To Listen For22:30 - "The Shadow of Your Smile"26:20 - Freddie Green's "Chunking" Technique28:15 - Sinatra's Vocal Gift33:30 - "Street of Dreams"35:50 - "One For My Baby (And One More for the Road)"38:40 - "Fly Me To the Moon"45:00 - "One O'Clock Jump"49:50 - Desert Island Tracks54:05 - Apex Moments59:05 - Categories1:03:20 - Coming Up Next Week
