In other words, I won't be producing any NEW "Straight, No Chaser" programs for a while. The March 16 program was new, although pre-recorded. In the upcoming weeks I expect the station will rebroadcast some older programs.

I was fortunate to hear Bill Smith in a number of different settings. He was well appreciated in Seattle, both as a jazz player/composer and as an academic at the University of Washington.

I paid tribute to McCoy this week (March 9) on my KBCS-FM radio show, "Straight, No Chaser." There are two hours of Tyner on file in the audio archive at the KBCS website, which you're welcome to enjoy any time in the next two weeks at https://www.kbcs.fm/programs/straight-no-chaser/
