New Releases And A Nod To Egyptian Roots

Sunday, August 23

It's a night of all-new issues, including the latest releases from jazz artists J.D. Allen, Jeremy Pelt, George Cables, Cyrus Chestnut and Joshua Breakstone. We'll also feature the newest album by the Todd Marcus Jazz Orchestra, Blues for Tahrir. This jazz nonet presents original music with hints of Middle-Eastern influences that reflect the bandleader Marcus's Egyptian-American roots.

Bill Pearce was the host and producer of KMUW’s Straight No Chaser, a music program featuring mostly instrumental jazz, from early music to recent recordings. We’ll miss Bill, and his Sunday night show Straight No Chaser.
