Radar: Bassist Charnett Moffett Offers 'Music From Our Soul'

With his first recording 30 years ago, we learned about "Net Man" — bassist Charnett Moffett. On Music From Our Soul, he revisits some of the feelings of those three decades, enlisting master saxophonist and flutist Pharoah Sanders, inventive guitarist Stanley Jordan, soulful pianist Cyrus Chestnut and drummers Jeff "Tain" Watts, Mike Clark and Victor Lewis.

With the exception of Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo" and the Miles Davis classic "So What," the album features music composed by Moffett, with room for the musicians on hand to roam freely or swing mightily around his acoustic, electric and arco artistry.

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. This winner of the 1996 Gavin Magazine Jazz Radio Personality of the Year award has hosted the morning show each weekday from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. And, by his own admission, he's truly having a great time.
