“Conference of the Birds” is my weekly radio program on WNUR-FM. It airs on Tuesdays from 5-7:30 am Chicago time (UTC-5). And, of course, when technology cooperates, you can just come here for the archives.
A little more jazz than many recent shows, including a dip into our new music drawer which yielded finds from ICP Orchestra and Faruq Z. Bey with Northwoods Improvisors, as well as a reissue from Phil Cohran and happy birthday Kerrie!
Also, get yourself a listen to the excellent the Voice of America’s “African Music Treasures” blog, the source of the Hammadi ould Nana track from today’s show.
