#yegjazz — Public Fediverse posts

Hello #jazz & jazz-curious people. Join me soon at 11 am MST, 1 pm ET, 6 pm UK for my weekly 90-min hour of (mostly) jazz tunes on Fuse 'n Flow -
bigeradio.com

Today I offer an eclectic mix, featuring a jazz track from a rock 'n roll god (Randy Bachman), a new track from a fellow jazz radio host (Laila Biali), a double shot from a noted non-jazz band (Khruangbin), another aural Venn Diagram (Land & Hutcherson), and a metric catload of other tasty jazz treats

For decades, Roger Levesque shone a spotlight on culture in our fair city, and wrote extensively about the Yardbird Suite and many of the artists who took our stage. He was an original Influencer long before social media airheads co-opted that term.

Whether in the Edmonton Journal, or on air at CKUA, or CJSR, or CBC, Roger shared his excitement for quality music and culture, but particularly jazz. Through his journalism he proved to be a vital cultural educator for a few generations of Albertans. He was important for my personal education in the arts, and I will remember him with the greatest love and respect.

Tom wrote a great article on Roger, published today
