 Dear Listener,
Now that the latest winter storm is behind us we can look ahead to some great live music in our studio! Live Jazz New England, with host Pamela Hines, welcomes trombonist Jeff Galindo on Wednesday at 2pm. Pamela will join Jeff on piano and Sean Farias on bass for an hour of live jazz. If you've heard the promo you know that Jeff is one of the premier trombonists working today. He's been on live dates and recording sessions with top jazz performers. WICN looks forward to having Jeff in our performance studio! When I was with public radio in Louisville, Ky. one of the most popular shows we developed was our Saturday night blues program. What a pleasant surprise for me when I came here to find WICN's Saturday Night Fish Fry 7-11pm. Host Norm Rosen spins the blues, old and new, every Saturday evening. The show will definitely help you get up off your rusty dusty! |
| LIVE JAZZ NEW ENGLAND Host: Pamela Hines Jeff Galindo is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, Ma where he learned to improve his skills as a jazz trombonist. He has toured with Phill Woods in Europe and performed with Slide Hampton, a major influence of current WICN Artist of the Month Steve Turre. |
