Welcome to Suga in My Bowl radio‘s weekly feature, On The Bandstand, where we collect upcoming NYC area shows from current and past Suga’ guests. We’re online weekly and on the air on NYC’s WBAI-FM radio alternate Sunday nights from 11 PM -1 AM.

We’re off the air this week, but we’ll be back on WBAI with a fresh show next Sunday with harpist Riza Printup. Meanwhile, if you missed last week’s show with saxophonist and NEA Jazz Master Archie Shepp, then head on over to our archives to check it out. Also scroll down for our coverage of the NEA Jazz Masters tribute concert in a previous post. As usual, we have lots more music for you this week as we patiently await the arrival of spring.
