Number one thing to mention is that this past Sunday’s show will be the next to last Sunday we’re on the air on KPFK. Starting June 26th, we’ll relocate to Fridays from 8-10pm. Very little will change in terms of the show, though being on at that time does change my mood and will likely change the mood of the show as well. Good amount of new music in the first hour, including more from Kamasi Washington, Jones, The Sandwitches and an artist from Brasil I’ve been meaning to share for a while Russo Passopusso. Our second hour belongs to Ornette Coleman, and some of my favorite songs from the earliest period of Coleman’s career, in some ways the most innovative period as well. Next Sunday, our last Sunday, will be our 200th show on KPFK, we’ll be doing a special show (similar to how for our 100th show we focused only on the Dirty Three) focused on the music of Dale Warren, especially his 1960s & 1970s legendary work with Isaac Hayes, Gloria Ann Taylor and the 24-Carat Black!
