Give the drummer some.
A great night of music ahead on Soul Junction, as local drummer and composer Dan Capecchi of Shot X Shot joins us live in the studio. A drum heavy night looms, featuring music by Tony Williams, Ornette Coleman, Manfred Schoof, and The Exploding Star Orchestra. Plus, a solo by Dom Um Romao that has to be heard to be believed! Sadly, we will also pay tribute to the legendary Paul Motian, who passed away last week.
Wednesdays, 8pm-10pm.
