Sonic Café, Don’t Break It, that’s Jazzelicious. So ahh welcome, I’m your host Scott Clark and this is episode 309. This time it’s the Sonic Café Jazz Club, just downstairs from the main dining room here at the Sonic Café. We’ve got a great mix of jazz tunes pulled from the last 53 years or. Listen for the fantastic saxophonist Nicole Glover discuss the inspiration for her 2021 album Strange Lands followed by the title track. Then near the bottom of the hour we’ll spin Rockit, Herbie Hancock’s electronic jazz hit from 1983. If you get a chance check out the Rockit music video, it’s filled with automated manikins along with a bunch other strange 80’s stuff. Then still later listen for Reprieve, a track that’s almost ahh beat poetry, from Ani DiFranco. All that plus JD Allen, Lalo Schifrin, Joe Henderson and more as we broadcast from the Sonic Café jazz club, way out here in breathtaking Pacific northwest. Here’s Roy Budd with Hanky Panky. 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 week. 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)
