Reader's Notes - The Electric Highway




Here's a feature from the past week about my music history lecture at WDNA's Jazz Gallery.  It went very well, but my attempts to record audio on the scene did not, so I have only the slideshow materials but not my largely improvised (but informational) talk.

Russell Banks - Authors@Google



On this Friday's Passing Notes, we'll catch up with the eminent author Russell Banks and talk about his latest collection of stories, A Permanent Member of the Family.  In the meantime, here's an excellent hour of video with Banks from his talk at Google headquarters, this time around about his novel The Lost Memory of Skin.

Sunday Time Warp - Third Anniversary Show

This weekend will mark (more or less) my third full year programming music for the Sunday Time Warp program on WDNA in Miami.  I feel pretty good about the mix of music on the show -- not just jazz, blues, and funk, but the hip hop and EDM that occasionally makes its way into the general flow, as well as the artist feature "Segment 3," which has been on hiatus for the winter.  It all returns in full this Sunday, with lots of new music.  So far so good, and if we can make it to five years, Henshaw has agreed to start planning a concert with as many friends of the show as we can manage!  For now, tune in this weekend for new Rudresh Mahanthappa, DRKWAV, and Bob Dylan singing his best Frank Sinatra.
