Tune in an interview with vocalist, composer, lyricist and arranger Ginny Carr, a member of the Uptown Vocal Jazz Quartet, Thu., Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. with host Cheryl K. on "The Jazz Disturbance." “The Uptown Vocal Jazz Quartet (UVJQ) is continuing the tradition of vocalese hipness, much to the satisfaction of those of us who love Eddie Jefferson, King Pleasure and Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. But on their new CD, “Hustlin’ for a Gig,” they add another whole dimension to the tradition with new original compositions and engaging original lyrics. The group’s members are Robert McBride, Holly Shockey, Andre Enceneat and leader Ginny Carr, who is responsible for UVJQ’s original music, both lyrics and arrangements.”
