Sonic Café, that’s the late great tenor man Joe Henderson with a tune called Tetragon, which as all math majors know… is the name of a four-sided polygon, but we think it would also be a great name for a video game… sorta like tetris if you’re picking up what I’m putting down. So ahh how you doin’ I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 175. This time we take a trip down the steps to the jazz club in the basement here at the Sonic Café to hear the jazz go down. Some of you love it, some hate it, but you can’t deny, it IS an American original that we love. Our mix is pulled from 45 years. Listen for the great trumpet man Kenny Dorham, the Joe Sample Big Band, a cut from Joni Mitchell, Jerry Bergonzi, the Groove Collective and of course many more. So we’ll get out of the way and let our inner jazz loose as the Sonic Café presents, kind of a jazz thing, this time from the jazz club at that little café on the foggy, yet beautiful Oregon coast, we’re the Sonic Café.

About the Producer:

Scott Clark has always had a lot of music in his life. Growing up outside of Chicago, he was mesmerized early on by the radio of the sixties and seventies and began collecting records at a very early age. From 45’s and LP’s to cassettes and CD’s and now digital… he really never stopped. Today everything in his library is digitized because he got sick of lugging all that stuff around.

The concept for the Sonic Café is to deliver the high production values and feel of the radio he grew up listening to. But unlike the tight, repetitious playlists of those commercial stations, feature a massive range of artists, genres and tunes. The whole idea is to package it in an eclectic, engaging, no repeat format that brings both new and old together in a unique, entertaining, and most importantly fun and fast paced way. There’s really nothing on the radio today, or in the past, that compares with it.

About the Sonic Café:

The show is set in an imaginary cafe overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Central Oregon Coast. The cafe serves up eclectic, intelligent music, comedy and pop culture. The program originates from KYAQ radio located on the Oregon coast in the Pacific Northwest, so the imagery is not a huge stretch.

Each program is 58:00 minutes in length leaving room for station ID, promos and PSAs. Each episode is .mp3 encoded at a constant rate of 256kbps and ready for broadcast.

An episode is released each Friday. All episodes are evergreen; never focusing on time of year, weather, month, holidays, events etc. so each show is timeless. All music is presented in a no repeat format. Once a song airs in an episode it never airs again. Episodes may be downloaded and grouped together to quickly create program blocks of two, three, four or more hours in length.

The Sonic Cafe has a Facebook page (facebook.com/SonicCafeRadio) where complete show notes and playlists are presented for each episode. Listeners can also reach the show producers via email (SonicCafeRadio@gmail.com)
