Zamfunk: All Songs Zambian
ft. John Chiti - Ngo Uleya

The Irish/American group Nightnoise was a primary force in the 1980s and 90s in the fusion of Celtic music with elements of jazz and classical chamber music, as evidenced in the couple of pieces you'll get to enjoy in this hour. The rest of the fare ranges from Italian Renaissance music to jazz accordion to the mellow Americanism of singer/guitarist James Taylor.

The Belgian native Jean-Baptiste Frederic Isidor Thielemans, better known as "Toots," has been playing jazz for close to 70 years, first as a guitarist and then as a harmonica virtuoso, which is how he got his nickname. In tonight's first hour, you'll hear first-rate performances by Toots Thielemans on both the instruments he's mastered. We'll also mark the 40th anniversary of the release of one of Elton John's best albums, the American-West-themed "Tumbleweed Connection."

REGGAE... ft. terry linen - a better man

This week’s show features a moving story from a local student about his capstone work with an orphanage in Kenya. The children and teens have lost parents due to AIDS. He came back with a changed view of the world and a greater appreciation of the basics of life—food, education, family, and home.
