Tuesday night with Jim Motavalli

7:00 p.m. (approximate) Ruth Ungar of The Mammals will join us by phone. 8:00 p.m. Singer-songwriter Charlotte Kendrick, recently returned from her triumphal tour with multi-instrumentalist Liam Bailey. From her bio: "Charlotte wanted me to list some of her influences like Shawn Colvin, Ryan Adams, Neil Young and Lucinda Williams. You can hear how these artists my have inspired her in her music, but I think youll agree, that at the heart of everything, shes truly an original. And thats why I like her, both as a musician and a friend."- Brian Hunt, General Manager, Wondermore Records. 9:00 p.m. Myshkin, the leader of Myshkin's Ruby Warblers, will join host Jim Motavalli in a telephone interview to talk about her music, which combines Jewish influences, jazz, confessional singer-songwriting and some beatnik word jazz. The Washington Post wrote: "Both lyrical and politically pointed, though blessedly free of rhetorical excesses. Myshkin's Ruby Warblers are all about the sound: a rich blend topped with her broad-ranging, keening voice."
