Another Up to Date Jazz Update

Just a quick heads up to the four people who read this blog: I'll be doing an expanded Jazz Update on KCUR's Up to Date this coming Monday, December 18.

I wouldn't call it a Best of 2006 edition, but we will be covering some favorites.

What to expect:
  • Christmas jazz ('tis the season)
  • Uilleann pipes (yes, really)
  • Brazilian guitars (and whistles)
  • and (inevitably) a saxophone or two
When to tune in
  • Monday, December 18 at 11:30 central (or so, this is live radio, after all)
Where to tune in
  • KCUR FM 89.3 on your radio
  • kcur.org on your internet device
