Spotlight on the Saxophone with Jon Gordon

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.

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.
