6 – 9 p.m.: Excursions: Jazz Motifs w/ Art Cromwell
Excursions celebrates the existence and continued resistance of Native American people with two special programs. Part One focuses primarily on the music from the multi-tribal experimental band KHU.e’ek’, the Tinglit name for “invite,” or “Potlach,” their foundational community ceremony. Their music includes elements of storytelling, spoken word/rap, avant garde Jazz, Blues, and Native American song forms. They are joined by legendary Funkadelic keyboardist Bernie Worrell. Time permitting, KHU.ekk’ will be joined by other Native American artists; Jim Pepper, Lee Mixashawn Rosie, Keith Secola, and First Nation artist Mali Obomsawin.
“Spirit Waves” Part One of our Native American Heritage Month Special, Saturday, Nov. 14, from 6–9 p.m. on WOUB Ohio University public radio. Part Two can be heard Saturday November 31, on the same spirit wave.
