Nice article.

Katea Stitt? Sonny's daughter? There's a tune called 'Katea's dance' on the Ammons/Stitt 'you talk that talk' album.

Yes, she is Sonny's daughter. She has been a mainstay on WPFW for years.

She was also a mainstay of the D.C. Tower Records jazz room for a number of years, and did concert producing (mostly avant-garde-ish projects) during the 80s at D.C. Space (now defunct).

The article: I had no idea that people were moving in to "gentrify" Adams-Morgan and am alarmed, though I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I really hope WPFW makes it out of there OK... D.C. lost its other jazz station in the 90s.
