NEWS

• Jason Karaian is gone for the summer; I (Seth Tisue) am handling most jazz show business while he is away. Don't change your address book; you can still reach us as always at the above addresses.
• Tune in to the jazz show this Thursday, July 2nd at 11:00am to hear a live in-studio performance by Evan Rapport (reeds) and Jerry Lim (guitar), two-thirds of the Baltimore-based Companion Trio, who will be performing two shows in Chicago: that night at XoinX Tea Room, and the following night at the HotHouse (on the same bill as the David Boykin Out-Tet).
• Don't forget that you can now listen to our signal from anywhere in the world over the Internet via RealAudio at http://www.wnur.org/live.ram.
