NEWS:
We've got an excellent, busy week for you on Chicago's Sound
Experiment. Make sure you tune in to these great special shows.
On Monday, Sept. 20, Cleveland/NYC group Birth (Joshua Smith, Jeremy
Bleich, Joe Tomino) and Aram Shelton from Grey Ghost will be stopping
by to chat at about 9:30am. Birth and Grey Ghost share the
evening at Rodan Monday night.
On Wednesday, Sept. 22 at about 11:30am, guitarist Scott Fields will be
joining us to talk about two great new releases he has coming
out. The first is Christangelfox from 482 Music which you may
have heard quite a bit on WNUR recently and the second is Song Songs
Song from Delmark, a duo recording with Chicago guitarist Jeff Parker.
Also, this weekend (sep. 24&25) WNUR and Delmark records are
presenting Ernest Dawkins' New Horizons Ensemble live in concert at the
Green Mill for the release of the band's new album Mean Ameen.
Dawkins will be joined by Maurice Brown, Jeff Parker, Darius Savage,
Isiah Spencer and Steve Berry. Don't miss these shows!
Dawkins might also be stopping by the studio this week, so listen for
that as well.
Finally, following the jazz show this week on the Continental Drift
show (12:30-2:00pm CST) we'll be broadcasting live from the World
Music Festival in Chicago so make sure you stay tuned in for that also.
