Like Jazz?

I like jazz and enjoy a local volunteer radio station in NYC, WKCR FM. WKCR will be playing 24 hours of Ornette Coleman all day Thursday March 9 and 24 hours of Bix Beiderbecke on Friday March 10, 2006. These are 2 of the annual 14 birthday broadcasts that pre-empt regular programming on WKCR on those days. WKCR is online at http://www.WKCR.org
Happy listening.
