Tune in Wednesday evening from 6-9 PM to hear this week's edition of the Musician's Show, where we will be joined by drummer, composer, arranger, and educator Curtis Nowosad. A Winnipeg native, Nowosad currently resides in New York City, and has performed at some of the city's best venues, including Smalls, Smoke, and Dizzy's Club Coca Cola, as well as jazz festivals in Canada, including Ottawa Jazz Festival and the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal.
Our MP3 streams are currently unavailable. We are working on getting it up again soon.
Join us as we honor the life and work of Clark Terry, who passed away on Saturday, February 21st at the age of 94. With a career that spans more than 70 years, Clark Terry was an influential trumpeter, flugelhornist, educator, composer, writer, instrument designer, and NEA jazz master. We will preempt regular programming from 3:00pm today until 3:00pm Tuesday.
Tune in this Sunday Night, February 22nd to a very special "In All Languages," from 11pm to 2am. Robert Browning, New York City's most prolific producer of World Music events will share his personal recordings, highlights from his concerts from over the last 30 years.
The story of Armida has fascinated artists since the sixteenth century. From Lully to Judith Weir, composers are continually inspired by the love affair between the Saracen sorceress and the Crusader knight, Rinaldo. Using Haydn's Armida (in the Harnoncourt recording with Cecilia Bartoli, Christoph Prégardien, and Patricia Petibon) as a focal point, Saturday night's program will be an exploration of the various musical representations of the fantastical story. Stepan Atamian hosts.
Tune in Wednesday evening from 6-9 PM to hear this week's edition of the Musician's Show, where we will be joined by trumpeter, composer, and arranger Freddie Hendrix. Hendrix is an exciting player with a powerful sound.. Equally at home as a leader, soloist, and section player, Hendrix has performed in an extensive and varied list of engagements from the Count Basie Orchestra to backing Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder.
Thank you so much for your patience while our MP3 stream was down. As of now, both streams are fully functional.
Don't forget to tune in to The Musician's Show and The Firing Lion tonight!
