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.

We’re off the air this week, but if you missed last week’s show with drummer/percussionist Will Calhoun, head on over to our archives to check it out. It’s also the last call for premiums from our summer fund drive. They all make nice gifts — for yourself or someone else. Choose between autographed copies of Will Calhoun’s brand new CD Celebrating Elvin Jones, available for a pledge of only $25; the Perfection CD by the MAC Power Trio of David Murray, Geri Allen, and drummer Teri Lynne Carrington also for a $25 pledge; or autographed copies of Quincy Troupe’s book Miles and Me about his relationship with Miles Davis, available for pledges of $35. All premiums include a year’s membership to WBAI and all proceeds go to supporting listener-supported free speech community radio in NYC. Many thanks to Motema Records for their donation of the CDs! And we have music listings for you!
