Get Your Monk Straight, No Chaser

This Wednesday afternoon from 3 to 6 p.m., Irwin Chusid and his guest Peter Keepnews will present a three-hour tribute to Thelonious Sphere Monk, the idiosyncratic giant of jazz piano. Keepnews, a jazz journalist and Monk authority, is also the son of Orrin Keepnews, who founded Riverside Records and produced many legendary Monk albums in the 1950s and early 1960s. The show will feature tracks covering Monk’s entire career, as well as historic recordings of Monk titles by other artists.

Donate Your Unwanted Records to WFMU

Just finished that Marie Kondo book and ready to tidy up your house? Start by donating your unwanted vinyl records and CDs to WFMU. We are now seeking donations of used (but undamaged) record and CD collections to fill holes in our library and to sell at our next Record Fair (April 26-28, 2019). You’ll get a tax break, too! E-mail record and CD wrangler Matt Warwick at mattw@wfmu.org or call him at 201-521-1416, ext. 243.

Check out the WFMU Random Archive Generator!

If you’re hating that god-awful noise coming out of your computer right now, why not throw caution to the wind and give WFMU’s Random Archive Generator a whirl? It will randomly select an archive from somewhere between last week and 2001 and fill your ears with glorious sound (or a different kind of god-awful noise).
