They called his playing "ferocious" and since his debut in 1967, Peter Brotzmann set a standard for free jazz that would influence countless saxophonists and delight listeners, not only in jazz but musics across many genres as well. Peter was uncompromising from the start to finish, playing a wide range of saxophones as well as clarinet and the Hungarian Taragato. He was a featured artist at many of the avant-garde jazz festivals across the world.

In case you were wondering what Juneteenth was all about, here is a little info. Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Although it has a few names, Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a combination of the words June and Nineteenth which is the day that Major General Gordon Granger gave the order proclaiming the freedom of the enslaved peoples of Texas. For whatever way you celebrate, observe, or reflect on Juneteenth, WHFR would like to say happy Juneteenth to all of our loyal listeners.

To all of the fathers on our WHFR staff and to our dads, uncles, grandpas, brothers, and father figures who are loyal listeners, we wish you a Happy Father's Day!

You know the voice if you’ve ever watched a Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoon or old enough to remember his role as a TV detective in Cannon or Jake and the Fatman. It's estimated, though, that he played some 7,500 roles in radio! That included narrator of the CBS series Escape and as Marshall Matt Dillon on radio's Gunsmoke...but that's not all! On WHFR's Sunday Night Mysteries, you'll hear Conrad arguing with the Director (in character) on CBS Radio Workship's "A Matter of Logic." You'll hear him introducing Ray Bradbury's "Mars is Heaven" and finally as part of a tense Suspense show, "The Man Who Threw Acid" from 1956.
Televison had already won the public over in the 1950s, but CBS Radio was still producing great radio drama. You'll hear it as always on Sunday 6/04/23 starting at 9PM ET on WHFR'S Sunday Night Mysteries. 89.3 in the Detroit area or whfr.fm on your streaming device.
