This past Monday we paid tribute to Creek/Kaw saxophonist/composer Jim Pepper. I want to thank my guests Mixashawn, Josh Burkett and Pablo "Bongohead" Yglesias for coming to the studio with music and insight.
Here's a cool Pepper page I found.

Radio Clandestino airs live every Monday 230-430pm (ET) at WMUA.org.
Fans may want to know Larry Coryell and Bob Moses will reunite The Free Spirits at Jim PepperFest 2013. Both a retrospective of Pepper - pioneer into fusion jazz - and a showcase of contemporary native music: Joy Harjo, John Trudell and Pura Fé have all signed. All are all important performers in a culture that remains under-served by mainstream media.
