Radio Reader AM 870 Weekdays, 8:30 a.m.The Litigators by John GrishamThe work of John Grisham comes to WKAR on Thursday, March 29, when Dick Estell begins reading The Litigator on The Radio Reader. The Washington Post called the book a snappy, well-turned novel. David Zinc, a young but burned-out attorney, walks away from his fast-track career at a fancy downtown Chicago firm and finds himself at the doorstep of Finley & Figg, a two- bit operation always in search of their big break. With their new associate on board, F&F is ready to tackle a really big case, a case that could make the partners richwithout requiring them to actually practice much law. The Litigators is an entertaining read filled with the kindof courtroom strategies, theatrics, and suspense that have made John Grisham Americas favorite story- teller. His nuanced understanding of law and his gentle touch make this one a dont-miss selection!

Dan Bayer In the Groove

Now that The Dan Bayer Jazz Show has been on WKAR for a few months, the show is making Facebook friends and getting lots of attention from listeners. Dan adds a variety of anecdotes and links to his posts and always includes an overview of the weeks show.

I keep my eye out for local per-formances, whether they be area artists or widely known musicians making a stop in town, he says, discussing the information he includes in his online posts. Im also on the lookout for news about jazz artists, whether it be music award nominations, new recordings, interviews, or life events, illness or death. Of course, I always give a little advance notice about whats coming up on this weeks program.

Dan Bayer

LIKE The dan Bayer Jazz show on Facebook!

Dan has been playing everything from jazz legends to local artists, new releases to classics and even jazz-inspired performances out of that genre. When it comes to setting up your own jazz library, he offers a few suggestions.

Id start with the Smithsonian Jazz Collection or Ken Burns Jazz, both multiple CD sets that give the listener a pretty good overview of the genre from its birth to nearly the present, he says. As for indi-vidual albums, Kind of Blue by Miles Davis comes to mind first. It truly is a jazz milestone. Then Id jump to Time Out by the Dave Brubeck quartet, a wonderful experiment with time signatures that gave us the hit Take Five.

Listen to The Dan Bayer Jazz Show Saturday nights at 8 p.m. or find it online at WKAR.org. The programs online stream is Saturdays and Mondays at 8 p.m. and Thursdays at 1 p.m.

The Lansing Symphony Orchestra (LSO) will offer Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 on Saturday, March 10, at 8 p.m., as its fifth MasterWorks concert this season.

Prior to the concert, Jody Knol will host a half-hour PreView Conversation in Wharton Centers Jackson National Lounge, beginning at 7:15 p.m.

The discussions include someone from the orchestra possibly the guest performer or orchestra members who offer insight into the evenings concert, providing background for audience members. Patrons may even hear passages of music performed or explained and gain an insight that helps one feel more connected to the evenings program. PreView Conversations are free and the Q&A is lively!

The concert itself will include Debussys Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, Strauss tone poem Death and Transfiguration, and Brahms second piano concerto. Joining the orchestra is world-renowned Van Cliburn-medalist Philippe Bianconi. Bianconi was described by the Washington Post as an artist whose playing is always close to the soul of the music, filling the space with poetry and life.

Timothy Muffitt will conduct the orchestra.

For more information about the concert, ticket purchase or other events related to the LSO, visit their website www.lansingsymphony.org

Jody Knol Hosts March LSO PreView Conversation

WKAR is a longtime partner with the Lansing Symphony Orchestra and has included performances from the LSO in its 90.5 Community Concerts series, which airs summers on 90.5 WKAR.
