I've heard Ornette on KNTU before. Not recently, though.
Ever since the Lab Band program started exerting "influence" over the programming, that station's gotten really weird about some things. The programming definitely has taken on a flavor of "sanctioned", if you know what I mean. Didn't used to be that way. And I've been listening for 30+ years, give or take a few spent out of town.
Keep in mind also that this is a station that was given the first Quartet Out CD several times, and that Quartet Out is a band that has three NT alumni in it. We never got as much as a single airing. Word "throught the grapevine" is that the programming director thought that the music didn't "reflect well" on the NT "jazz education" program.
