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. Keep up with us via Facebook, the blog here, or our main website, or Twitter and we’ll keep track of the schedule for you.
Last week’s show was a special fund drive edition. We played excerpts of the “Who Owns Music” panel discussion Suga’ sponsored earlier this year. If you can pledge for the DVD, you’ll get access to the full discussion and all proceeds go to WBAI and help us stay on the air. And, as always, even a relatively small pledge of $5 helps a lot and sends the message to station management that people want to hear jazz and will support it. Thanks for whatever you can do to keep us rolling along! Now let’s see what’s going on musically this week.
Saxophonist Ravi Coltrane is at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s Club on the 29th.
The New York Chapter of the AACM’s monthlong 50th anniversary celebration at the Community Church of New York on E 35th St wraps up on the 30 with the AACM All Stars featuring Dr. Muhal Richard Abrams on piano.
