From the Isle of Music, February 25-March 3, 2018<\/strong><\/em>
\nPart 1 of 2 parts
\nThis week and next, our special guest is saxophonist\/composer\/bandleader Alexey Le\u00f3n, 1st Place winner in the Interpretation category at JoJazz 2017. He already has a very impressive musical resume, and in one of our rare interviews in English, we’ll talk about his career to date and listen to some of his new album Cuban Connection, which also features other distinguished jazzistas such as Ivan Melon Lewis\u00a0and Carlos Sarduy.
\nFour opportunities to listen on shortwave:
\n1. For Eastern Europe but audible well beyond the target area in most of the Eastern Hemisphere (including parts of East Asia and Oceania) with 100Kw, Sunday 1500-1600 UTC on SpaceLine, 9400 KHz, from Kostinbrod, Bulgaria (1800-1900 MSK)
\n2. For the Americas and parts of Europe, Tuesday 0100-0200 UTC on WBCQ, 7490 KHz from Monticello, ME, USA (Monday 8-9PM EST in the US). This is running on a backup transmitter due to a recent fire.
\n3 & 4. For Europe and sometimes beyond, Tuesday 1900-2000 UTC and Saturday 1200-1300 UTC on Channel 292, 6070 KHz from Rohrbach, Germany\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot, Sunday, February 25<\/strong><\/em>
\nEpisode 51 of Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot<\/em> sends us to the Balkans for some hot Roma brass from Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Romania along with our mystery song for the week. We will also do a “hang” at our Facebook page so that you can chat with us during the show if you like.
\nSunday, February 25, 2300-2330 UTC (6:00PM -6:30PM Eastern US) on
\nWBCQ The Planet 7490 KHz shortwave from the US to the Americas and parts of Europe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
