From the Station Manager’s Desk! We hope you will join us on Friday Feb. 13 as we present our Valentine’s Dinner/Dance at Drury Lane! Bruce Oscar welcomes you on solo piano as you arrive; we enjoy a wonderful dinner, and then dance to the John Burnett Orchestra with Frieda Lee. And don’t forget the sumptuous dessert/coffee table! We offer a substantial discount if you’re a current contributor to WDCB! For tickets call (630) 942-4200. More details: WDCB.org With many media outlets celebrating Black History Month in February in various ways, WDCB is proud to present more than 125 hours of jazz EVERY WEEK! And we’re especially proud to present a concert this month featuring the Grammy-winning vocalist Gregory Porter. He keeps his gospel and R&B roots of jazz in the forefront of his original, socially conscious lyrics, which are a hallmark of his art. Make sure to catch him February 15th at the MAC. Happy Listening!
