Art is often inspired by music, and vice versa. Modern art would not be the same without the jazz era. Bob Perkins from WRTI-FM talks about how painters and jazz musicians dug deep to make their art. Visit “Modern Times: American Art 1910–1950” before it closes on September 3.

Just finished finalizing chapter 3's COMIC ART! Going through all the pages now to add speech (on 28/36 as we speak). All that's left would be setting up the site and finding a good release date!

"No other group in jazz, past or present, sounds quite like Mary Halvorson’s Amaryllis," WRTI's The Late Set says of its guest and her band. "A sextet that places her guitar within a shifting matrix—alongside trumpet, trombone, vibraphone, bass, and drums—it’s a chamber ensemble with a dynamic core, forever in a state of flux." Halvorson spoke with Josh Jackson, The Late Set co-host with Nate Chinen, about the band—whose new album, About Ghosts, is on the show's short list for Album of the Year—ahead of a recent concert at Solar Myth in Philadelphia. You can hear the episode here.

I was a little under the weather today when this album arrived in the mail by @JazzIsDead #Azymuth which is the 4th album in their Jazz Is Dead series. Growing up in Camden, New Jersey in the late 70’s there were two jazz radio stations out of Philly, Temple University’s #WRTI “The Point” which was on in my house and my dad’s car daily and a new jazz fusion station simply call “98” because it was 98.3 on your FM dial. During that time, I listened to mostly “98” because they played fusion and is where I first heard Azymuth and their album “Aquia Nao Come Mosca” which I still have in my collection. The most famous album that got a lot of air play during that time was their album “Outobro” and the hit “Dear Limmertz”. I was fortunate to buy three of their albums in Okinawa which were played all the time during my time there in that country. This album Azymuth JID004 I had been listening to all week on my @Roonlabs app on my iPad that brought back pleasant memories of my time when I listened to them a lot. I wasn’t very familiar with the “Jazz Is Dead” series and Adrian Younger, but I was well aware of “Ali Shaheed Muhammad” because the work he did with “Tribe”. I’m a little disappointed with this album because it doesn’t hit me like the albums Azymuth put out in the late 70’s and early 80’s with that heavy Brazilian flavor as this sounds more modern than Latin. I think they missed their mark with this because Azymuth had that distinct sound back in the day and this album to me doesn’t capture it. So yes I’m a little disappointed with this. . . . . #Igjazzvinyl #vinyljazz #jazzvinylcollector #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinyl #LatinJazz https://www.instagram.com/p/CVEyVp_sZs8/?utm_medium=tumblr

He’s back, cool cats! WRTI jazz DJ Bob Perkins returns to the airwaves after a stroke

"People say, ‘You ought to give it up, man, go retire somewhere.’ Why? I’m the only one that’s doing this thing on regular radio, and I enjoy very much what I’m doing, and the feedback that I get from people who enjoy it. Maybe it’s one of the high points in their life."
