“Conference of the Birds” is my weekly radio program on WNUR-FM. It airs on Tuesdays from 5-7:30 am Chicago time (UTC-6). And, of course, when technology cooperates, you can just come here for the archives.
A super eclectic show this week, moving from blues to funky jazz to African and Cuban sounds, then stretching out a bit in the second hour. I had a great time with this music. Hope you dig it.
