We visit with Roger Humphries - grateful in NYC, Allan Harris - making music and building a new place in Pennsylvania (we have the scoop), a visit with Najee - on how he’s loved the flute, and didn’t really like the Soprano Sax at first (he’s at City Winery next Thursday, January 22).

And we hear about how Don Was, president of Blue Note Records, got back into playing music at the urging of the recently departed Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead.

The Scene - Thursday night at six, Friday and Saturday at noon, Sunday afternoon at 5 on WZUM.

The MCG Jazz Spotlight Show celebrates the artists we lost in 2025 by doing the one thing they’d all agree on: playing the music.
