WHFR Radio will premier a new series of Sunday programming with a two-hour spotlight on Chess Records. The Chicago based record label was a prime outlet for blues in the '50s and '60s before branching out into jazz and soul music in the '60s.
Artists such as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon and Chuck Berry recorded extensively for the label which inspired many artists around the world in their approach to blues and rock music.
On Sunday, November 19, from 4-6pm EST, WHFR PRESENTS will focus on the great blues music on Chess Records from the '50s and early '60s. Join host Pat Frisco for this adventure into the Windy City. A rotating series of WHFR deejays will follow up on upcoming Sundays.
Keep checking whfr.fm for what's in store on Sunday, November 26.

David S. Ware was one of the greatest of avant-garde saxophonists during his all too short career and life on earth. His classic quartet with pianist Matthew Shipp, bassist William Parker and a host of revolving drummers is considered by many as the tour de force of avant-garde working groups. From his early mentoring days with Sonny Rollins to his short stint with the Cecil Taylor Unit, his early trio Apogee with the great Cooper-Moore and the classic quartets, David set the jazz community afire with his incendiary and spiritual outpouring of music.
Join me, Pat Frisco, for five hours of the music of David S. Ware, Tuesday, November 7, from 6:00 to 11:00pm EST on the Spirits Rejoice radio program, airing here on 89.3fm and online at whfr.fm.
