We’re off this week, but if you missed last week’s show with saxophonist and flutist T.K. Blue, head over to our archives where you can hear that and 7 years of archived shows. A quick program note while we have your attention: we’re pre-empted next week for WBAI’s summer fund drive. Those of you following the news have likely heard of the station’s woes with the transmitter at the Empire State Building. If not, the summary is that the station’s in deep debt for seriously escalating rent. Anything you can pledge is needed now more than ever. And we have other listings for you this week.

Saxophonist James Brandon Lewis is at the Bowery Poetry Room on July 30 with Heroes are Gang Leaders.

Drummer Roy Haynes is at Subrosa with pianist Eddie Palmieri on July 31.

Saxophonist and flutist T.K. Blue has free outdoor concerts on 135th St in Harlem for the Jazzmobile series on August 1 and at Jazzmobile’s Grant’s Tomb concert on August 23rd.

You can also pledge as little as $5 or consider a monthly donation which gets you station membership as a WBAI Buddy with additional benefits. We also still have a few autographed copies of Jon Else’s True South book on filmmaker Henry Hampton’s struggle to get the monumental Eyes on the Prize series on TV as a thank you gift at the $35 pledge level which includes a year’s station membership along with the book. Thanks to those who’ve already pledged we appreciate whatever help you can offer the station!
