Hey BCB, Tomorrow night, Thursday, June 21st at 10 p.m. I, Brett Underwood, will be jazzin' up the solstice night as a fill-in host for Josh Weinstein on All Soul, No Borders. Josh and I got to enjoy the 2nd Annual Jazz and Improvised Music festival in Detroit at the Bohemian National Home a couple weekends ago and I've got some things in mind, but don't have it fleshed out and mixed up quite yet...just giving everybody a heads up. Josh is off at the Vision Festival in NYC gettin' down with some of his favorite downtown musicians and fans. Dial it up in St. Louis and tell your friends...and as always, we're worldwide on the web at kdhx.org via Real Audio.
Can't wait to spin some stuff from St. Louis' Free Jazz Posse: Dave Stone, Jay Zelenka, Jeremy Melsha, Derek Leu, Aaron Smith, Ajay Khanna and Mike Fitzgerald. I'll be spinnin' something from their "Fanfares For the Noh Age" as well as stuff from Chicago, such as Kyle Bruckmann's Wrack and Kahil El' Zabar with Billy Bang....I don't know what else.
