89.3 WNUR FM, Chicago's Sound Experiment, broadcasts jazz every
weekday from 5:00 am until 12:30 pm.
Comments
30 new release from 26 different record labels added this
week. There's something for everyone. My personal pick for the week is
the New Horizons Ensemble. No surprise considering I spent the weekend
at the AACM 30 year anniversary.
