Since its finals week and all, Josh decided to hand the reins over to me for this weeks show (well, Josh still helped, but Ill take the glory anyway.) Tune in tomorrow night at 6:30 pm EST to 88.3 FM in the New York metro area, or listen online at wbgo.org. Wednesday morning, the show will be up at the website as well. While youre at it, subscribe to the podcast.
This weeks show will highlight some of the best student performances from last months Jazz Appreciation Month celebration. To frame the hour, I asked a few questions to four different students who are graduating from local jazz schools: Peter Yuskauskas from The New School, Jeremy Fratti from Jersey City University, Julian Smith from the Rutgers Mason Gross School for the Arts and Paul Brady from the Rutgers Masters in Jazz History and Research. It will also feature music from the Julliard and Berklee student jazz ensembles as well as music by the four interviewees.
Enjoy the show tomorrow night, and feel free to let me know what you thought of it here. And while youre at it, stop over and pledge a few dollars over at WBGO your support will help shows like The Checkout continue to grace the airwaves and the internet.
