shows

In spite of the fact that I am traveling this week, I had every intention of trying to get a show out. It appears that my reach did exceed my grasp so unfortunately we have a re-air of the show from last week. Here is the playlist. Don’t forget that you can listen online at KCSB-FM’s…

Lot’s of live recordings this week as we also celebrate the birthdays of both Hamid Drake and Roscoe Mitchell – both of whom were born on August 3rd and are still producing music. A little funny piece of trivia regarding Hamid Drake and the RoCM – while I haven’t done an official count, he’s likely…

So what a week, huh? This week, a quick tribute to Bernice Johnson Reagon – founding member of the Freedom Singers as well as Sweet Honey in the Rock – who passed away on July 16th. We also hear from the Die Like A Dog Quartet, Henry Threadgill, and very cool track by Cooper-Moore and…
