You'll get no argument from me Junior. I wish I'd seen him before he died.
<BLATANT PLUG> WRCT plays lots and lots of folks like WSQ, Dave Douglas,
Sun Ra, Fred Hopkins, Kahil El'Zabar and the like (also Mingus, Ella,
Chet Baker). Saturday evenings between 4-10pm and Sunday mornings
between 7am-noon are most reliable, but there are at least half a dozen
such shows on our schedule, and most any MP3 player can play them at
www.wrct.org.</BLATANT PLUG>
