What's On: June 2

Guitarist Grant Green was born June 6, 1935. While he never achieved success with the general public like Wes Montgomery, he was highly regarded by other musicians for his use of the single note melodic line, and rarely played chords. On this week’s and next’s SNC, we will celebrate his birthday. Tonight, he plays his original No. 1 Green Street, along with two originals.

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.
