Tonight on “Silver City Acoustic,” host Greg Renfro will have as his first guest: probably our most elder working musician in Silver City, Dane Dexter, who’ll share his musical life with us, including his 14 years in the 40s and 50s touring as a trumpeter for the black vocal group, The Ink Spots, whose music led to both rhythm and blues and rock and roll; arranging 150 pieces of big band music for Ina Ray Hutton’s all-female jazz-band television show; his living next door to Miles Davis, and much more – including live 30s, 40s and 50s jazz piano – accompanied by Edie Steede – in our beautiful downtown studios – tonight right after the 6 pm community calendar!
In our second hour, Edie Steede, our local, most-amazing jazz vocalist, will share about her growing up in St. Louis, developing her skills, her love for the old jazz standards, rock, and other music, and leading the Silver Blue Roots band here in Silver City. She’ll be accompanied by Dane on piano, as they perform together almost every week in Silver City.
So tune in and tune up at KURU 89.1 FM – or stream on the Internet at GMCR.org!
