We’re off the air this week, but catch us next week as we catch up with drummer/percussionist Will Calhoun and get the inside scoop on his new release in honor of Elvin Jones! Until then, hit the archives for last week’s show with pianist Geri Allen and the rest of our archived shows. We still have last week’s premiums available if you missed out.
