Hello out there in the radioland,

Trumpeter Roy Hargrove died last week at the tragically-young age of 49, from substance abuse-related system failure. This Saturday I plan to do a two hour special on the music with which he left us. A master of all areas of black music including modern jazz, dance, rap, cuban, big band and much more.

Please tune to eastsidefm.org/freedomjazzdance on Saturday 2-4pm or pick it up any time thereafter from my station blog.
