In the early 2000s, WBGO brought you Saturday Afternoon Jazz from J&R Music on Park Row in lower Manhattan -- live music, once-a-month, on 88.3FM and wbgo.org.
The artists made the music, WBGO produced the broadcast, and the shoppers bought the records.
In March 2008, vocalist Catherine Russell, daughter of two well-respected New York musicians, brought her quartet to celebrate her second album, Sentimental Streak.
