On Stage: Mama Kat Celebration
KUVO is sad to note the passing last month of one of its longest running hosts, Ms. Justina Curlee, known to her radio audiences as “Mama Kat – Senior Citizen of the Airwaves.” While we will miss her terribly, we have some great musical events to remember her by. On Sunday, May 19, 2019, KUVO will re-air portions of “Mama Kat’s Send Off Concert,” which first aired live on Jan. 3, 2014. There was a huge, joyous spirit in the…

Tune in to KUVO on Sunday, May 26 at 4pm when KUVO’s performance series “On Stage” features the United States Air Force Airmen of Note with famed pianist Kenny Barron, recorded in 2018 in Alexandria, VA. A product of Philadelphia’s rich jazz scene, Barron began working professionally as a teenager and was soon touring the world with Dizzy Gillespie.

On Stage: KUVO’s Archive Program
Tune in on Sunday June 2 when KUVO presents its showcase program of past shows from the Phyllis A. Greer Performance Studio. The room itself was just a storage area with a high ceiling when KUVO moved to the Five Points Media Center in the mid-90s. But the staff back then had a vision for something significant. Plans were hatched to install baffles to lower the ceiling to 12 feet and deaden the walls. Equipment had to be acquired: a…

Tune in on Sunday, June 30 at 4 p.m., for KUVO’s performance series “On Stage” features the United States Air Force Airmen of Note with vocalist Cyrille Aimée, recorded in 2018 in Alexandria, VA. The U.S. Air Force Airmen of Note came of age during the service of Air Corpsman Glenn Miller. It seems a full-circle come-about that a “free” France was such a fertile ground for jazz. Cyrille Aimée’s home town Samois-sur-Seine is the location of the annual Django…
On Stage: The Jazz Trio
On, July 7, at 4 p.m., KUVO’s performance archive show “On Stage” showcases the most basic yet essential jazz configuration – the trio.

On Stage: Guitar Leads the Way
On Sunday, July 14, 2019 at 4 p.m., KUVO’s performance series “On Stage” shows a few ways the guitar steps out in front of a jazz or blues band. In 2018, KUVO hosted a wide variety of guitar-led ensembles, including flamenco sensation Miguel Espinoza and the Santana-inspired playing of Steve Glotzer with Soul Sacrifice. The blues were at home in the Phyllis A. Greer Performance Studio when David Booker brought his trio last summer, and few can approach the vintage…
