marcello Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 By the way, KUNV, 91.5FM http://kunv.unlv.edu/ I saw Kim Linzy last week at the JazzWeek Summit ( wonderful lady, by the way), who's the Program Director at KUNV and asked about the club scene in Vegas. She told me it's been dead for quite awhile, sorry to say. KUNV is a nice station at the University has some fine players associated with it like Tom Warrington and Joe La Barbera. Here's Kim: Quote
