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.
Earlier this year, drummer and NEA Jazz Master Terri Lyne Carrington picked up a Grammy for her latest release, New Standards, Vol. 1. The album and a companion volume of sheet music mark a years-long effort to shed light on female composers whose works have long been left out of the jazz canon.
