Susan Gai Dowling
February 12, 2010anita No Comments »Today at around 2.30pm I’ll be chatting with Susan Gai Dowling on her radio show on Eastside Radio (89.7FM). They are now streaming live, so check it out; www.eastsidefm.org. Very exciting news for people who to date have not had good radio reception, due to that large grey obstacle called the city. It’s also very flattering to be a guest at a radio station that is so committed to high quality jazz and arts. Susan Gai Dowling is the real deal too. I saw her performing recently at the Paddington RSL, with her sextet. I always enjoy Susan’s phrasing and the emotional honesty in her singing, and of course the swinging accompaniment. (Only a singer can get away with calling Bernie McGann, Carl Dewhurst, Brett Hirst and John Pochee “accompaniment”. Actually, I don’t think I’m going to get away with that at all).
