Join me for the Sept. 7, 2020, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio as I’m joined in conversation with one of the most recognized and sought after saxophonists and vocalists Mindi Abair.

The two-time Grammy nominee has been electrifying audiences with her dynamic live performances and sax prowess since her debut album in 1999.

You may know Mindi as the featured saxophonist on American Idol, sitting in with Paul Shaffer on The Late Show with David Letterman and The Roots on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, or as the first solo saxophonist touring with Aerosmith since 1973. She has garnered twelve  No. 1 radio hits in the jazz and blues world, two No 1 spots on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Album Chart and two  No. 3 spots on the Billboard Blues Album Chart.

Join me for the Jan. 27, 2020, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio as  I’m joined in conversation with Danish jazz vocalist Sinne Eeg.

Sinne has received a number of recognitions and positive reviews both nationally and internationally and is considered among the best female jazz vocalists currently in Scandinavia. She has composed many of her own songs, and although she usually sings in English, she has also performed and recorded songs in Danish.

Sinne has won the Danish Music Awards prize in the category Best Danish Vocal Jazz Album of the Year four times. The Webster Foundation describes her as “‘a true jazz singer, who both shows sensitivity, improvisational skills, maturity, broad range and timing in her singing.’”

Join me for the Nov. 25, 2019, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio in Sitka, Alaska, when I was joined in conversation with Washington, D.C., standout Sharón Clark.

Sharón has brought festival and concert audiences to their feet across the U.S. and Europe. Her New York run drew raves from the NY Times and the Wall Street Journal, and she won New York’s Bistro Award for Best Vocalist. Ms. Clark has made multiple international tours in recent years, making her debut in Israel and returning to Russia, where she has developed a major following. Her most recent release, “Do it Again — My Tribute to Shirley Horn,” is on its third printing, and she grabs top honors wherever she goes.
