Visit the artist's website!

The year's well underway and cruising at full speed again! No theme for today's show, but it is split in half. The first two hours contain older material, more traditional stuff like Dizzy, Wes and a few discs I picked up over the holidays. The last two hours contain newer, spacier stuff to go with where my musical mind's been at, lately; like NEXT Collective, 1969 Miles and Brad Upton. New jazz releases will tie it all together. Tune in Tuesday 1/20 from 3-7pm on 88.5FM in the WFCF listening area, or listen online here. See you then! - Kendo
