ATG's Webcast for August and September

Webcast Title: ATG 22
Webcast Date: beginning Sunday, August 19, 2006
Webcast Time: daily at 9-11 AM and 7-9 PM (MST).

Sign On
This month on Ain’t That a Groove we’ll listen to a tribute to the Keystone Kops from trumpeter Dave Douglas; dig Tony Williams’ flamdiddle portrait of the redoubtable Mr. Spock; make a small, bloodless sacrifice to the Hawaiian God of War; summon the spirit of Black Elk in the fight against global warming; and dare to lend a lobe to the funk philosophy of the Screaming Headless Torsos.

This edition of ATG is the 22nd installment of our periodic program, Odds and Sods, first broadcast August 19, 2006. Of particular importance on today’s show are the Zen Funk of Nik Bartch and Ronin, a hipper-than-hip groove from the funky vegetarians called Lettuce, and an instant World Jazz classic from saxophonist Ron Blake.
