Drummer Mike Clark Drives All-Star Quintet on New Album ‘Kuon Ganjo (Time Without Beginning)’ | New Day New Play

Drummer Mike Clark's autobiography, God Make Me Funky, arrives in early 2027. With his new recording ,
Kuon Ganjo (Time Without Beginning) you'll hear his wish has come true.

You'll hear some Sonny Rollins, Mike's former Headhunter bandmate Herbie Hancock, some Wayne Shorter, some Texas blues shuffle and much more, showing this master and his friends can get inside and celebrate a wide spectrum of rhythms.

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.
