5 – 7 PM Sunday
WDCE 90.1 FM
Listen via streamcast at http://www.wdce.org/
804-289-UR90 Studio

Jazz can be scary. Just look at Chet Baker in the 70s. Or how about a week aboard an All-Star Smooth Jazz Cruise? Now that’s scary!

Join me this Sunday for a scary Freedom Jazz Dance--- modern jazz from bebop to freebop and beyond---on 90.1 FM WDCE http://www.wdce.org/. Along with a few hokey Halloween numbers, I’ll be featuring selections from The Peck Allmond Group, the Kenny Dorham Quintet, Grant Green and George Garzone, just to name a few.

Call in at 804-289-UR90 to give your trash-or-treasure vote during my notorious Records From Aunt Ruth segment and compare jazz compositions during the FJD exclusive Two Of A Kind segment.

Freedom Jazz Blog Question of the Week:

Who or what’s the scariest thing in jazz?

Blog away! I’d love to hear from you. Got a special gig, event or release? Keep on blogging or leave me a message.

Dig.
