Spotlight on the Saxophone with Jon Gordon

Howdy Folks! It's been a minute since we've posted. We're just so focused on bringing you the tunes every Friday night!


First off, thanks everyone who donate to CKUW during FunDrive 2018! We really appreciate your support. If you haven't donated yet there's still time to join the FunDrive crew. Simply contact the station via email (ckuw@uwinnipeg.ca) or phone (204-986-9782) to make arrangements. Every contribution helps us grow to bring you excellent community and listener driven program 24-7. Plus, donating is cool. If you are interested in the swag, donating to CKUW is the only way to get it. This year features a one-of-a-kind T-shrit design and a new CKUW puzzle. Definitely keepers.

And now, back to the show! This week (March 9) we are grateful for a visit from Jon Gordon, saxophonist, educator, performer, composer, and arranger, based at the University of Manitoba Jazz Studies Program. Jon is an established artist that has worked with artists around the world. You may have heard him on Check Ça with his work on Will Bonness's latest CD, Halcyon (I highly recommend the lovely sax solo on Puddles). Tune in this Friday night for a live interview, samples of Jon's music, and some choice jazz sax goodies presented by Mr. Gordon.

* Check Ça will have guests stopping by the show in the next while, so do check us out every Friday night!
