Sasha Berliner's 'Fantome' featured on WBGO's New Day New Play March 3-7

Vibraphonist Sasha Berliner's Fantome
C/O of the Artist
Vibraphonist Sasha Berliner's Fantome from Outside in Music

On her third album, "Fantome", vibraphonist Sasha Berliner nullifies genre conventions, presenting her modernistic approach with an invitation to the listener to come along, and listen to what is possible when tradition vanishes, a Fantome to her expression, allowing for new paths, without the confines of Category. The result is an exhilarating collection of originals, alongside an inspiring out of the box display on the Billy Strayhorn nugget "U.M.M.G.".

Sasha is joined here by pianists/keyboardists Taylor Eigsti and Lex Korten, bassist Harish Raghavan, drummer Jongkuk Kim, and special guests David Adewumi on trumpet and Rico Jones on tenor sax.

In jazz radio, great announcers are distinguished by their ability to convey the spontaneity and passion of the music. Gary Walker is such an announcer, and his enthusiasm for this music greets WBGO listeners every morning on Daybreak. He's the winner of the 1996 Gavin Magazine Jazz Radio Personality of the Year Award and the recipient of the 2021 Marian McPartland-Willis Conover Award for Career Achievement in Broadcasting from the Jazz Journalists Association. Gary hosts the morning show each weekday from 8am til noon. And, by his own admission, he's truly having a great time.
