Hi.

My name is Gary Zidek. Welcome to The Arts Section. Tune into the radio program every Sunday morning on WDCB 90.9 & 90.7 FM or listen to it online here. I'll be showcasing a variety of arts & entertainment stories.

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek sits down with author Aaron Cohen to talk about his experience co-writing jazz legend Ramsey Lewis’ memoir. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, join Gary to talk about Goodman Theater’s new production of ANTONIO’S SONG/I WAS DREAMING OF A SON. And later in the show, Gary checks in with the executive director of the Jazz Institute of Chicago to hear how life after the pandemic is coming along and learn more about a prestigious award that’s being given to WDCB’s own Al Carter Bey. Plus, a segment on something called SoFar Sounds.
