kpfk-logo

Special show this past Sunday. We start off paying tribute to Charles Mingus, whose 91st birthday would have been today, by playing one of his masterpieces, 1963’s Black Saint & the Sinner Lady, in it’s entirety. The second hour begins with an interview and performance from Lady featuring Nicole Wray and Terri Walker (separate post to follow). Played a little bit of music in between those, with new tracks from Jaimeo Brown, Orgone, Toddla T Sound, King and a classic from Shuggie Otis. If all goes well this week, we’ll have an interview from Shuggie Otis on this coming Sunday’s show!!!
