On this episode of Houston Jazz Spotlight, we are celebrating two important dates, June 14th which marks my beloved mother, Marva Faye Jones- Malone, 80th birthday and June 19th which is Juneteenth. So during the first hour we will play some of mothers favorites and during the second hour we will get you ready for the Juneteenth celebration this Sunday. My mother brought jazz into my life with albums by Wes Montgomery and Hubert Laws. This is one of my mothers favorite albums by Sir Hubert and I loved it so much that I borrowed her copy when I came to TSU. I got him to sign the album for her at the Houston Jazz Festival in 2019.
Tune in to the Houston Jazz Spotlight from 6-8 pm on KPFT 90.1 FM and on kpft.org
